Do Public Schools Have an Obligation to Serve Troubled Children and Youth?

Nelson, C. Michael; And Others

Exceptional Children, v57 n5 p406-15 Mar-Apr 1991

Issues related to the exclusion of students considered socially maladjusted from consideration in Public Law 94-142 are discussed in light of current research evidence and school practices. A broader, more inclusive perspective is advocated, including early intervention and special education for such at-risk pupils. (Author/PB)
