PL 94-142, also known as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, required school districts to provide a free and appropriate public education to all children with disabilities, including those with visual impairments, in the least restrictive environment possible. This meant that children with visual impairments should be educated alongside their non-disabled peers in the local community whenever possible. The law did not require special schools for children with visual impairments.
