Summary: "Although special education services are vastly better today than they were in the early years of public education, current policies and practices continue to result in the under-education of many children with disabilities. This book illustrates key failures of the system within the context of real children's experiences. The case study approach gives voice to the students, families, and educators who have been let down by the special education process. The goal is to shed light on the flaws and injustices of the status quo. After identifying these problems, the authors offer sound solutions... This book will be an excellent resource for graduate-level students, practitioners and teachers in the fields of special education, disability studies, early intervention, school psychology and child and family services." - BOOK JACKET
