Special Education Policy for Learners with Mild Intellectual Disability in New Zealand: Problems and Issues.
Wilton, Keri
International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v41 n2 p143-58 1994
This paper argues that New Zealand's policy to close special classes for students with mild intellectual disability represents a premature and unsound reduction in available educational options and that available resources are grossly insufficient to provide quality special educational services for all "children with educational and social difficulties" (which includes children with mild intellectual disability).
