Inclusion: A Special Education Dilemma

Inclusion: A Special Education Dilemma is an hour-long video that presents a roundtable discussion of the issue of bringing children with disabilities into general education classrooms. It is intended to be used to stimulate discussions on this very controversial topic. The moderator, Dr. Quentin Young, is a nationally known physician advocate and former head of Cook County Hospital. The group of panelists comprises adults with disabilities, parents of children with disabilities, special education administrators, attorneys, and advocates. As a group, they represent a range of visual, hearing, and physical disabilities.
