Overhaul of U.K. special education would move away from inclusion

A new package of reforms in the United Kingdom would overhaul the way the country's schools educate students with disabilities, moving away from the country's long-held policies of inclusion. The plan is being proposed by Prime Minister David Cameron as a way to allow students with disabilities to be educated in environments that are the most appropriate for their disability. Others, including autism advocate Ari Ne'eman, a member of the U.S. National Council on Disability, warn the policy could serve to limit opportunities for students with disabilities.
