The Education of Severely and Profoundly Retarded Children: Are We Sacrificing the Child to the Concept?
Burton, Thomas A.; Hirshoren, Alfred
Exceptional Children, v45 n8 p598-602 May 1979
The authors consider the implementation of P.L. 94-142 (the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) as it relates to educational programing for the severely and profoundly retarded. Their position focuses on three basic issues involving anticipated levels of learning, personnel training, and the appropriate locus of educational services. (Author/SBH)
