Identification and Assessment of Students with Disabilities.
Reschly, Daniel J.
Future of Children, v6 n1 p40-53 Spr 1996
Describes current special education identification, classification, and assessment practices, and evaluates them in light of emerging concerns about their reliability, usefulness, and fairness. Alternatives to conventional practices are discussed, and a revised funding system that can yield the dollar figure available to support the special education of a particular student is suggested.
