Sayeski, Kristin L.; Reno, Emily A.; Thoele, Jillian M. – Exceptionality, 2023
Since the introduction of response-to-intervention as a process for identifying specific learning disabilities and the widespread adoption of multi-tiered systems of support as a framework for instructional delivery, the role of the special educator has become blurred. Specifically, special educators have struggled to identify their role across…

Morgan, Chelsea W.; Cheatham, Gregory A.; Lim, Sumin; Amilivia, Jennifer M.; Martinez, Jose R. – Exceptionality, 2023
Efforts to address the identified needs of labeled groups of children (e.g. identified with disabilities, considered at-risk) may magnify difference and further stigmatize children labeled as different. In this article, we introduce a relational framework to the field of inclusive early childhood education that reframes perceptions of difference…

Perry A. Zirkel – Exceptionality, 2023
This article provides foundational information to stimulate and facilitate assessment of the distinctive role of law in this field.

Around the world, we are seeing the highest number of displaced people to date, with an increasing trend since 2012. With the U.S. historically being leaders as a receiving country for refugee resettlement, research needs to focus on supporting refugee families with children with disabilities and the teachers who serve them. Literature in special…

The implementation of prereferral models was being discussed in educational literature as early as 1979.

Skaar, Nicole R.; Etscheidt, Susan Larson; Kraayenbrink, Andrew – Exceptionality, 2021
The provision of school-based mental health services (SBMHS) to students with disabilities is inadequate and insufficient. We propose that this failure to provide SBMHS to students with disabilities is due to (a) mental health services not consistently recognized as a related service under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),…

Kauffman, James M.; Ahrbeck, Bernd; Anastasiou, Dimitris; Badar, Jeanmarie; Felder, Marion; Hallenbeck, Betty A. – Exceptionality, 2021
Social policies can be well-intentioned but ineffective in achieving what is intended. They can be undermined or destroyed by their exaggerated or oversimplified caricatures with a single, narrow focus. Caricatures may result in the opposite of the original intent of more carefully crafted variants. Institutionalization and deinstitutionalization…

Maag, John W.; Kauffman, James M.; Simpson, Richard L. – Exceptionality, 2019
The decades-long assault on principles of special education--some knowingly, such as the regular education initiative, and some unknowingly, such as certain presumptions and practices of full inclusion--have consequences that may negatively affect the future of the field.

Kauffman, James M.; Schumaker, Jean B.; Badar, Jeanmarie; Hallenbeck, Betty A. – Exceptionality, 2019
We suggest that special education could die among common myths about it. That is, special education could cease to exist, at least as we know it, because its true nature and requirements for its functioning are misunderstood. We discuss only 12 common myths about special education, recognizing that there are many more myths and that the ones we…
