What is "special education" exactly, and why do we have it? How many students receive special education services and who are they? How are students identified for special education services? Where are students with disabilities taught? What is an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)? What roles do general and special education teachers play in addressing the needs of students with disabilities, and how do their responsibilities overlap? How does diversity influence special education? What about students who are gifted and/or talented?
