Students with Special Needs: Lessons from Comparisons.

Fulcher, Gillian

Journal of Education Policy, v5 n4 p347-58 1990

The theme and topic of students with special needs should be examined from social theoretical platforms, rather than special education frameworks; a sociopolitical approach based on discourse theorizing is especially useful. Recent research shows that the students with special needs concept is an invalid approach to educational equity. Includes 63 references. (MLH)
