Every child should have access to an education that works. The
Quest for a Meaningful Special Education follows the educational
journeys of nine students with a language-based learning disability
(LBLD) who, through a combination of parental advocacy and luck,
were removed from a debilitating learning situation and enrolled in
a school designed to address their particular learning needs. In
the process of following their journeys, the book explores the role
of cultures within and outside the school and examines some of the
ways that the construction of special education has affected
student learning. In the context of the ongoing national
conversation about student academic success, high school dropout
rates, the disproportionate number of prison inmates with learning
disabilities, the costs of educating students, and the controversy
over the placement of minorities in special education, The Quest
For a Meaningful Special Education is a timely book that will add a
new perspective to current debates.
