The Education for All Handicapped Children Act, which was enacted in 1975, required public schools that receive federal funds to provide students with disabilities an education in the least restrictive environment. It was later renamed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1990, which has since undergone several amendments, including the most recent version called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) in 2004. The other options, American with Disabilities Act and No Child Left Behind, do not specifically address the education of students with disabilities in public schools.
