| Much has changed in special education since the publication of the first edition of this bookin April 1974. We have seen the number of students receiving special education services swellfrom two and one-half million in the early 1970s to more than four million in 1980. We haveseen the passage of the landmark Public Law 94-142, which Congress titled "The Educationfor All Handicapped Children Act" and which its proponents hailed as a "bill of rights forthe handicapped." We have witnessed a social movement in providing alternative settings foreducating handicapped persons. Two such movements in particular, mainstreaming and dein-stitutionalization, have generated some of the most heated rhetoric and controversy. |
