Competency Testing and Handicapped Students: A Legal View.

McCarthy, Martha M

Journal of Educational Equity and Leadership, v6 n3 p235-43 Fall 1986

Five legal questions are discussed in the conflict between the move to institute minimum competency testing (MCT) for students and the effort to protect the educational rights of handicapped children. The threshold question is whether handicapped children should be subject to the same MCT requirements as the non-handicapped. (PS)
