Perspectives of appropriate educational support services for non-English speaking families of deaf and hard of hearing children: the ideal and the real "A Literature Review"

Abstract

It is widely recognized that children with special needs require considerably more help in and out of the classroom in order to achieve access equal to that of children without special needs. A series of laws in the United States has been established to focus on the needs of special needs children (for example: Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - IDEA - of 1990),and these laws have a significant impact on children who are deaf or hard of hearing (hereafter, deaf). The IDEA (P.L. 101-476& 105-17), for example, has opened the way for public education programs providing free and appropriate schooling in the "least restrictive environment" (Meadow-Orlans, 2001).
