Abstract
It is clear that special education has entered a new era of noncategorical approaches toward exceptional children. Beginning with disenchantment with special classes, the trend continues with serious questioning of traditional diagnostic labels and with experimentation in grouping various types of exceptional children together for educational programs. This article explores the implications of these events for learning disabled children.Keywords
