(1998). Education Is a Human Right 1998: El Barometer on Human and Trade Union Rights in the Education Sector. In many countries, often at great personal cost, teachers and education support staff are at the forefront of the struggle for basic trade union and human rights. This book acknowledges their contributions. It also draws inspiration and hope from their efforts to show that a commitment to the interests of every child, to quality education, and to effective trade union organization can make a difference.

In 1997, Congress reauthorized IDEA and regulations for implementing it were released to states in June 1999. These laws define special education as \specially designed instruction, at no cost to the parent, to meet the unique needs of the exceptional child and may include instruction provided in the classroom, in the home, in the hospital, and in residential facilities and other settings.\ Children with disabilities include those with autism, deafness, blindness, behavior emotional disabilities, hearing impairment,… [PDF]
