Özet
This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of the historical, legislative, and practical aspects of educating individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). Beginning with an overview of the definition and significance of ID, the chapter delves into the historical evolution of special education laws and policies, tracing the paradigm shifts that have influenced approaches to educating individuals with ID over time. The legislative framework is examined, with a focus on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), emphasizing the principles of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), as well as the crucial early intervention programs under Part C and Part B. The chapter further explores critical aspects of special education, including early childhood special education, inclusive education, and the educational continuum. Early childhood intervention, transition from Part C to Part B, and the presumption of inclusive placements are discussed alongside challenges, opportunities, and the impact of IDEA on educational placements. Additionally, the chapter addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by disproportionality in special education, the importance of cultural sensitivity, and the transition challenges faced in secondary education. The concluding section emphasizes evidence-based practices, highlighting the significance of effective instructional strategies, teacher training, and the dissemination of evidence-based practices for the successful education of individuals with intellectual disabilities and ethnic disproportionately. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
