A Two-Headed Monster.
Zirkel, Perry A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n5 p410-11 Jan 2000
A protracted case involving a high-achieving ADHD student who was judged eligible for Section 504 assistance, but not for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act assistance, demonstrates confusing overlaps between programs, problems with overidentifying students as disabled, and the high costs of "legalizing" special education. (Contains 12 references.) (MLH)
