Legal Influence and Educational Policy in Special Education.
Prasse, David P.
Exceptional Children, v54 n4 p302-08 Jan 1988

The feasibility of its implementation is challenged in such areas as treatment of disproportionate placement, legal and professional policy barriers to implementation, and the role of courts in resolving scientific disputes and programmatic concerns.
