Legislation of interest
Three legislative resources

(ADA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 represent three attempts

The Hughes Bill
A.B. 2586 deals with the behavior interventions
that can be used with students receiving special education who have
difficulties conforming to acceptable behavior patterns. It requires
that when behavioral interventions are used that they are administered
in a manner that respects human dignity and personal privacy, and
that ensures a pupil's right to placement in the least restrictive
environment. See details.
