Americans With Disabilities Act: Dispelling The Myths. A Practical Guide To Eeoc's Voodoo Civil Rights And Wrongs, Charles D. Goldman
University of Richmond Law Review
The time is at hand for reality to replace expectation as the employment provisions of the federal mandate not to discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), are now the law of the land. A new era of rights, responsibilities, and opportunities dawned for private and governmental employers, and disabled persons when the rules of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") went into effect on July 26, 1992. A practical, common sense utilization of institutional solutions complemented by individualized applications, not ad hoc reactions, is essential. Other- wise employers' worst fears will …

All parents have the basic right to guide the educational future of their children. Prior to the 1970s, however, it was not unusual for the parents of a handicapped child to find it difficult, if not impossible, to provide their child with a genuine opportunity to learn. Despite the Supreme Court's proclamation in 1954 that education, "where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms," handicapped children were routinely excluded from public education or segregated within it. Congress, responding to the increasingly vocal call for equal education, took …

In 1975, the United States Congress passed, and President Ford signed into law, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (hereinafter the Act or EAHCA). The key provision of the Act was that each handicapped child was entitled to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (hereinafter FAPE). Congress provided extensive procedural protections to ensure that the school authorities provided children with a FAPE. The extensive procedural protections included parental participation in most decisions affecting the child's educational program. ...

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Handicap Law, Donald H. Stone
University of Richmond Law Review
Disabled persons represent approximately fifteen percent of the population of the United States, making this minority group one of the largest in American society. In Virginia, it is estimated that there are 750,000 disabled persons. Most of these people are dependent upon some form of governmental services ranging from state funded residential placement to more subtle accommodation such as a wheelchair ramp to provide access to public buildings. The degree to which handicapped citizens are integrated into the mainstream of society depends upon the availability of these services and the implementation of laws insuring access to them.

"Arbeit Macht Frei:" Vocational Rehabilitation And The Release Of Virginia's Criminally Insane, Daryl B. Matthews, Patrick J. Coyne
University of Richmond Law Review
The release from confinement of persons acquitted by reason of insanity is one of the most perplexing problems of the criminal law. The insanity acquittee's release confronts our deepest fears, and the procedures which society employes in this process force us to face the difficult and often intractable issue of the responsibility of the criminally insane.

Congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 197 in response to the need for increased funding brought about by the widespread recognition by courts and state legislatures of the right of handicapped children to an adequate education. Although the Act sets forth general requirements states must meet in order to qualify for receipt of federal funds, it does not prescribe the specific educational programs local schools must make available in order to fulfill those requirements. Instead, the heart of the federal control mechanism is a system of procedural .safeguards which provides for parental involvement in educational placement …
