Abstract

On November 29, 1975, President Ford signed into law a multi-billion dollar aid measure to assist states in educating handicapped children. P.L. 94-142 requires that a state must agree to establish a goal of serving all handicapped children between the ages of three and eighteen by September 1, 1978, and children between three and twenty-one by September 1, 1980, in order to qualify for Federal Assistance. The Federal Assistance provided for this program is substantial as it will provide 40% of the excess cost for Special Education. This excess cost reaches its full potential no later than 1982.
