Black-Branch, Jonathan L.

Canadian Journal of Special Education, v9 n2 p134-44 1993

Seven academics and eight legal practitioners were interviewed concerning the influence of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the rights of special needs children. The experts predicted that charter rights may become one of the most litigated areas of education. Three areas of concern included student identification, student placement, and accommodation of student needs. (JDD)
