Abstract
The history of special education delivery systems can be summarized in two words: progressive inclusion. It is proposed that the future of special education also will be describable in the same terms. The so-called continuum of administrative arrangements for special education will likely be changed to eliminate remote specialized places such as the residential and day school. It is now possible to serve disabled students in neighborhood schools, and that should become the standard for all students and all schools.Keywords
