The Education for All Handicapped Children Act: Schools as Agents of Social Reform.
Singer, Judith D.; Butler, John A.
Harvard Educational Review, v57 n2 p125-52 May 1987
The authors report findings of a study on the Education for All Handicapped Children Act's implementation in five school districts across the country, conducted from 1982 through 1985. They focus on equilibration between federal demands and local capacity. Significant attitude transformation and social reform have occurred, but inequities remain. (Author/CH)
