Rowley (1982) </Td> </Tr> <P> The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (sometimes referred to using the acronyms EAHCA or EHA, or Public Law (PL) 94 - 142) was enacted by the United States Congress in 1975 . This act required all public schools accepting federal funds to provide equal access to education and one free meal a day for children with physical and mental disabilities . Public schools were required to evaluate children with disabilities and create an educational plan with parent input that would emulate as closely as possible the educational experience of non-disabled students . The act was an amendment to Part B of the Education of the Handicapped Act enacted in 1966 . </P> <P> The act also required that school districts provide administrative procedures so that parents of disabled children could dispute decisions made about their children's education . Once the administrative efforts were exhausted, parents were then authorized to seek judicial review of the administration's decision . Prior to the enactment of EHA, parents could take their disputes straight to the judiciary under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 . The mandatory system of dispute resolution created by EHA was an effort to alleviate the financial burden created by litigation pursuant to the Rehabilitation Act . </P>
