Education of the Handicapped Act Ammendments of 1986. Report.
Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Education and Labor.
The report of the House Committee on Education and Labor recommends passage of the Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments of 1986, H.R. 5520. Contents include a discussion of the background and need for the legislation followed by an explanation of the proposed amendments, a section-by-section analysis, and the complete text. First, the bill amends the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA) by establishing a new federal discretionary program to assist states in developing and implementing a comprehensive, coordinated, interdisciplinary program of early intervention services for handicapped infants and toddlers and their families. Second, the bill amends the preschool incentive provision and other sections in Part B of EHA to strengthen the incentive for states to serve all handicapped children ages 3 to 5, inclusive. Finally, the bill amends Part B evaluations and amends and extends the authority for the discretionary programs under Parts C through G. Among the amendments described are the individualized family service plan, State Interagency Coordinating Council, and the relationship among public agencies for providing or paying for services detailed in a child's individualized education program. Secondary education and transitional services for handicapped youth, as well as grants for personnel training, are also addressed. (JW)
