Who Are the Children Special Education Should Serve and How Many Children Are There?
Edgar, Eugene; Hayden, Alice H.
Journal of Special Education, v18 n4 p523-39 Win 1984-85

Special education may be perpetuating the reluctance of regular education to alter instructional procedures for all children who are experiencing performance problems. (Author/CL)
