"Imagine All the People, Sharing. . ." or a (Not so) Modest Proposal Made on the Eve of IDEA Reauthorization
Zuna, Nina; Turnbull, Rud
Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities (RPSD), v29 n3 p210-213 Fall 2004
The authors present a brief commentary and analysis of two problems related to 30 years of IDEA implementation: an increasing schism between general education and special education, and the unequal treatment of an entire class of students. Over the years, special education has become its own microcosm of programs and practices, making it difficult to realize an interdisciplinary approach to the education of all students. The authors analyze the possible sociopsychological implications of the categorization of students. They end with their vision of the unification of general education and special education into one education system for all students.
