Kritik
"Disabled Education is a unique and important work. For the first time, this book tells the stories of the families who set key precedents for children with special needs. It also gives a novel and in-depth description of the political and legislative process of the landmark Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. In so doing, Professor Ruth Colker offers an unprecedented historical account of this law, while also offering a timely critique and suggestions for reform." Julie K. Waterstone, Southwestern Law School "For anyone intent on our public schools providing equal educational opportunities to students with disabilities, Disabled Education is a comprehensive vision of how far we have yet to come and why. For attorneys and advocates, it provides insight into why there is such a headwind against students with disabilities receiving an effective and meaningful education. For judges, it delivers a challenge to reach more just, informed decisions, fully respecting the free appropriate educational opportunity guarantees of the IDEA. For those who teach, develop and enforce education policy through our civil rights laws, it presents a compelling insight into how and why the shortcomings of the special education system fall hardest on poor students, students of color and limited-English speaking students." Paul D. Grossman, Hastings College of Law, University of California "Colker's work provides both a broad and deep examination of the central legal - and moral - conundrum of the special education system: why the very same system can provide helpful and desired support for wealthier, often white, children with disabilities while providing less helpful and even exclusionary programs for low-income, often minority, children with disabilities. A leader in the field of disability law, Colker persuasively traces the answer through statutory analysis and legislative history, Supreme Court opinions and their back stories, and state-level administrative hearing officer decisions. The result is a compelling study that should inform policy makers and advocates in discussions about reforming the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in the years to come."-Eloise Pasachoff, Georgetown University Law Center "Disabled Education confronts head-on an unfortunate truth that all of us who are special education advocates have known for a long time: the system is, at best, inconsistently meeting the needs of low-income and minority children. Unlike other accounts of the system's imperfections, Colker's delves deeply and painstakingly into the rich human narratives contained in federal and state judicial decisions so that we can see in real terms the difficulties many families face as they crusade to obtain an appropriate education for their children. Not content to simply notice the disturbing reality, Disabled Education's detailed analysis provides a much more valuable contribution; it moves us closer to understanding why the system is not working equally for all families, how the system came to be this way, and what we need to do to fix it." Michael Gregory, Harvard Law Schoolmehr
