Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children (PARC) v. Commonwealth of Pennslyvania
Children with disabilities were not allowed to attend public schools instead their families had to pay for private schools. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania granted access to public education to all children. This case helped children in all states because the Department of Education made it a federal law that all students have access to public education. It also helped created a national special education law.
