Disabilities Education Act
As a behavior analyst, it is likely that you will work with many different types of clients, including clients with disabilities. It is especially critical that behavior analysts understand the requirements and ethical considerations in working with this population. Over the years, two critical pieces of legislation have been enacted in the United States to make sure individuals with disabilities have rights and are protected in this country.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that was enacted in 1975. It ensures that public education is available at no charge to eligible children with disabilities, including special education and related services. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. This is a law about fundamental civil rights for persons with disabilities. It protects individuals with disabilities against discrimination “in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public” (ADA National Network, n.d.).
This week’s Discussion focuses on IDEA and ADA. You will review these two laws and explore their impact on behavior analysts and how they practice their craft.

Children’s science learning at home
Parents are their children’s first educators and often spend time developing their children’s love of learning with activities done at home. However, science is often overlooked as many parents are unsure how to reinforce scientific learning. When teachers partner with families, students’ motivation to learn is increased, learning is reinforced, and curiosity about science topics is encouraged.
For this assignment, create a 500-750 word Science at Home handout to give to families showing them ways they can be involved with their children’s science learning at home. Select an age range/grade and 2-3 science standards to focus on.
Include the following in your handout:
Brief overview of science standards/topics addressed at the selected age range/grade level.
Explanation of how important the home-school connection is for children in learning science concepts.
At least 2-3 strategies to incorporate science in everyday home activities (i.e., cooking, cleaning, yard work).
Minimum of 2-3 suggested activities for families to do together to promote science instruction.
