Abstract

Neither general nor special education alone has either the capacity or the vision to challenge and change the deep-rooted assumptions that separate and track children and youths according to presumptions about ability, achievement, and eventual social contribution.Meaningful change will require nothing less than a joint effort to reinvent schools to be more accommodating to all dimensions of human diversity.(Ferguson, 1995, p. 285
