The Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children brought a class-action suit against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the failure to provide a public education to students with mental retardation. The Federal District Court ruled that all children from ages 6-21 be provided with free public education, stipulating that it was most desirable to educate children with mental retardation in programs most like those provided to their peers without disabilities.
