Barriers to Inclusion offers a comparative and historical account
of the rise of special education over the twentieth century in the
United States and Germany. This institutional analysis demonstrates
how categorical boundaries, professional groups, social movements,
and education and social policies shaped the schooling of children
and youth with disabilities. It traces the evolution of special
education classification, explores growing special education
organizations, and examines students' learning opportunities and
educational attainments. Highlighting cross-national differences
over time, the author also investigates demographic and geographic
variability within the federal democracies, especially in
segregation and inclusion rates of disabled and disadvantaged
children. Germany's elaborate system of segregated special school
types contrasts with diverse American special education classrooms
mainly within regular schools. Joining historical case studies with
empirical indicators, this book reveals persistent barriers to
school integration as well as factors that facilitate inclusive
education reform in both societies.
