Since the enactment of Public Law (PL) 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act 1975, it has been federally mandated that all test materials and procedures used for the evaluation of handicapped children be selected and administered in such a manner that they are not racially or culturally discriminatory. If this stipulation were enforced today to its fullest intent, most school systems in the United States would be in violation of the law. Eight years after PL 94-142 promised to be the salvation for all handicapped children, little has been done to improve tests and other evaluation procedures for handicapped children, especially those with communicative handicaps, to make tests linguistically and culturally valid.
