This week we learned about a lot of new things. A lot of things were hit hard at us. I will be outlining a few things that I have learned from this week.
  1. Institutional period: This is the period where all the people did was worked and that's how they could provide for there families, even the children had to work. So, if the child has some sort of disibility they would go to an institution and be cared for there. ASYLUM: Saftey/ Place of protection, people with mental health issues went there and were cared for. 
  2. RtI(Response to Intervention) only considered for academics

RtI Tier

                           period. 
    4. Mills ('72): Deinstitutionalism, 18,000 children at home but not being aloud to go into a school                              system, owed the school district
    5. 504 (Rehabilitation act '73): Section 504- Education of all people with disabilities, can sue for                                                           punitive damages.
