Explanation:

The civil rights era's momentum for equity and advocacy spurred multiple advances for students with disabilities:

1. The first President's Panel on Mental Retardation was established in 1961, part of the era's push for marginalized groups.
2. The 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act included funding that supported children with mild disabilities, expanding access to resources.
