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.

Caricatures may result in the opposite of the original intent of more carefully crafted variants. Institutionalization and deinstitutionalization…

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…
