Much has changed in special education since the publication of the first edition of this book

in April 1974. We have seen the number of students receiving special education services swell

from two and one-half million in the early 1970s to more than four million in 1980. We have

seen the passage of the landmark Public Law 94-142, which Congress titled "The Education

for All Handicapped Children Act" and which its proponents hailed as a "bill of rights for

the handicapped." We have witnessed a social movement in providing alternative settings for

educating handicapped persons. Two such movements in particular, mainstreaming and dein-

stitutionalization, have generated some of the most heated rhetoric and controversy.
