What is Public Law 92-142 also known as?

• A. The Inclusion Rule
• B. The Education for All Children Act
• C. The Child Development Act
• D. The Equality in Education Act

Answer: (A)

Public Law 92-142 is known as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, enacted in 1975. This law guaranteed children with disabilities a free appropriate public education and laid the foundation for individualized education programs, related services, and placement in the least restrictive environment. It established important protections and supports that helped ensure students with disabilities could participate in education alongside their peers. In 1990, it was renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), reflecting the ongoing evolution of disability services in schools. The suggested alternative title isn’t an official name for this law, since “Inclusion Rule” isn’t a formal designation for Public Law 92-142.
