Their failure to fulfill this clear duty to include and retain these children in the public school system, or otherwise provide them with publicly-supported education, and their failure • to afford them due process hearing and periodical review, cannot be excused by the claim that there are insufficient...
Page 57 - The provision of systematic education programs to mentally retarded children will produce learning. 2. Education cannot be defined solely as the provision of academic experiences to children. Rather, education must be seen as a continuous process by which individuals learn to cope and function within their environment. Thus, for children to learn to clothe and feed themselves is a legitimate outcome achievable through an educational program.
