  • Summary

    Chapter 8 surveys the landscape of special education in America. It emphasizes the centrality of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as well as the protections of the statute’s centerpiece: the Individualized Education Program (IEP). The chapter recounts the major precedents in this area of the law: namely, Rowley, Honig, and Endrew F. It traces the slow but steady path toward inclusion of all students in the learning environment. The chapter concludes with a celebration of the emerging concept of neurodiversity and the possibilities that a pedagogy informed by social constructivist tenets holds for general education and special education students alike.
