"When it was passed in 1975, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act was a historic piece of legislation that guaranteed all students with disabilities the right to a free and appropriate public education. Thirty years later noted practitioners, advocates, policy makers, researchers, individuals with disabilities, and parents gathered at Loyola Marymount University to discuss the current practices in the field and make recommendations for the future. This book is a result of that event." "Education for All offers an important resource for educators and parents who teach and support students with disabilities. The book includes contributions from noted authorities in special and general education including Mary Falvey, Diane Haager, Robert Rueda, and Janette Klingner. They address the important overarching issues in the field and focus on topic that are relevant to students no matter what their individual disability."--Jacket.
