P.L.99-457, also known as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act Amendments of 1986, amended the previous legislation IDEA and expanded services to include infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. This legislation is considered crucial in providing early intervention services for young children with developmental delays. IDEA (A) is important in providing special education and related services to children with disabilities, but P.L.99-457 is specifically focused on young children. No Child Left Behind (B) is a federal education policy that focused on accountability and testing, but did not directly address services for children with developmental delays. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (D) prohibits discrimination based on disability and requires reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, but does not specifically address services for young children with developmental delays.
