The word "disabilities" frequently appears in the names of U.S. public schools as a reflection of the country's commitment to inclusivity and equal educational opportunities for all students. Historically, federal laws such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) have mandated that students with disabilities receive appropriate education in public schools, leading to the establishment of specialized programs and institutions.
