Who Benefits From Special Education: Remediating (fixing) Other People's Children

This book addresses the negative consequences of labeling and separating education for students with "disabilities"; the cultural biases inherent in the way that children's learning difficulties are viewed; the social construction of disability; the commercialization of special education; the tension between professional ideology and practice versus the wishes and expectations of children, adolescents, and adults with disabilities and their families; and related issues.
