The author of this article seems to have very little knowledge about kids with special needs. First off, it's more often than not that the child's mom was not on drugs or drinking or that home life caused the child's behavior or disability. Special needs kids need more attention in the classroom and have individual needs that can only be met in a seperate setting other than with so called "normal" kids all day. Inclusion in regular classrooms need to be personalized to each special need child's ability to function without disrupting a classroom and accompanied by an aid. Special needs kids are an irritation to parents of "normal" kids until they have an understanding of the special needs child, or have one of their own.
