Question 22 • CA-Government Essentials (IS)

Read the scenario.Martin has autism. His parents believe that the school district is not providing a learning plan that takes into account his specific needs.

Answer
A
Title IX
B
Civil Rights Act of 1964
C
Americans with Disabilities Act
D
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

Explanation

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires public schools to provide eligible students with disabilities an individualized education program (IEP) designed around their specific educational needs. Because Martin’s parents are concerned that his school plan does not address his needs, IDEA is the best fit. Title IX and the Civil Rights Act address other forms of discrimination, while the ADA is broader and does not specifically establish the school-planning process described here.
