Description
Summary:	Turnbull features a modest proposal to justify historically and to relate to the contemporary and future issues in special education. Among other things, data from the National Center for Education Statistics lie at the basis of any reform of education policy which are both encouraging and discouraging. These data reflect two trends, first is that disability correlates positively on the one hand with race/ethnicity, language, poverty and family structure on the other while the second factor is that, although the number of students served in special education has remained relatively constant, the percentage of students served because of a specific language disorder, speech-language impairment or ADHD has increased.
