Answer to Question 1

In the United States the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; Public Law 104-446) mandates: free and appropriate public education for any child with special needs in the least restrictive environment for that child; each child with special needs, regardless of age, must be assessed with culturally appropriate tests; each of these children must have an individualized education program (IEP) tailored to his or her needs, and must be re-assessed.

Answer to Question 2

Children who face many known risk factors, such as community violence and parental divorce, are vulnerable to abnormal development. Acute, stressful situations as well as chronic adversity put children's successful development at risk. Chronic poverty, serious caregiving deficits, parental mental illness, divorce, homelessness, and racial prejudice are known risk factors that increase children's vulnerability to psychopathologyespe cially in the absence of compensatory strengths and resources.
