Kavale, Kenneth A.; Forness, Steven R.
Remedial and Special Education (RASE), v8 n5 p6-12 Sep-Oct 1987
The article reacts to C. E. Sleeter's analysis of the history of learning disabilities by concluding that the fundamental problems in learning disabilities and other mildly handicapping conditions are the consequence of their politicization and not of political pressures for their establishment.
