The Necessary Restructuring of Special and Regular Education.
Reynolds, Maynard C.; And Others
Exceptional Children, v53 n5 p391-98 Feb 1987
Special education categories for mildly handicapped students are not reliable nor valid as indicators of particular forms of education. Their use is expensive and inefficient, causing disjointedness in school programs. A program of pilot projects is recommended in conjunction with regular educators to redesign categorical programs and policies. (Author)
