Abstract
- The article discusses the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA), Public Law 94-142 and the Handicapped Children's Protection Act of 1986 (HCPA), Public Law, 99-372. EAHCA is an act which provides free and appropriate public education to handicapped children. Aside from free education, Public Law 94-142 also provides procedural safeguards to parents when schools makes special education decisions. HCPA, on the other hand, allows the parents of handicapped children to recover attorney's fees in special education disputes that reach state or federal courts.
