Finally the voice of the special education student

This is an amazing movie that helps to dispel the myths we as a society often hold about the "special" care afforded children with disabilities in public schools when they are segregated into those "special" places. Four individuals with disabilities spanning four decades of "special" education give us a glimpse of what it is like to be "taught" using the same kinds of procedures used with Al Qaeda operatives. Only these were children with disabilities. Clearly all segregation does not include this level of violence, but the objectification of children who are separated and treated as "other" sets the stage for this to happen anywhere where segregation exists. This film should be another nail in the coffin lid of the "continuum of alternative placements." Segregation is a violation of our national policy toward the most integrated setting and inclusive services and supports for all people with disabilities. We all belong where we all belong.
