Reducing the Number of Students Identified as Learning Disabled: A Question of Practice, Philosophy, or Policy?
Gelzheiser, Lynn M.
Exceptional Children, v54 n2 p145-50 Oct 1987

A minority model of disability with classroom modification and accommodation to differences in students who fail to meet behavior and achievement standards is proposed. (Author/DB)
