Resource Type

Book

Description

"Examining various options for providing effective education -- including the highly controversial practice of mainstreaming -- the editors base their study on one of the largest and longest-running studies ever of public school programs for the deaf. They elucidate major concepts such as "least restrictive environment, " and "free and appropriate education, " and describe various models for thinking about the relationship between the deaf child, his or her family, peers, and the public school." -(walmart.com)
