Description
Summary:Education for All provides readers with a historical perspective regarding the education of students with disabilities in the U.S. over the past 30 years while critically examining current practices and making recommendations for the future. Chapter topics address important overarching issues in the field that cut across individual disabilities. These include issues related to establishing early intervention in K-12 settings; including students with disabilities in general education settings; working collaboratively with families as partners; providing appropriate instructional practices; reducing the over-identification of minorities in special education programs; and implementing special education law for the benefit of all children and families. The book helps readers gain a better understanding of the most pressing issues in the world of special education, so they can improve their own educational, clinical, and research practices.
