In 1990, members of the U.S. Congress passed a legislative action known
as the Americans with Disabilites Act or ADA. This law provided for equal
opportunity for all persons in the areas of employment, public services
and accommodations, and telecommunications.
Senate Bill 1 was passed by the members of 74th Texas Legislature. This
legislation detailed the Texas Education Code. The provisions ensured equal
educational services or opportunities to any individual eligible to participate
in a state supported special education program.
Both the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Texas Senate Bill 1 have
addressed the education of individuals with hearing disabilities. For more
