Special Education as a Moral Enterprise.
Astman, James Alan
Learning Disability Quarterly, v7 n4 p299-308 Fall 1984
The article addresses the "identity crisis" which the author says faces the field of learning disabilities. Following a brief review of the history of special education, the logical positivism movement is described and challenged. In the final section the author emphasizes the need to examine values rather than facts divorced from contexts. (CL)
