In this article, Cari Carson emphasizes that the United States disability law, especially the special education law is most essential. The idea of integration and inclusion entails the involvement of those individuals with disabilities with the nondisabled ones through different activities. The special education law defines integration as the education of those students with disabilities with their peers who have no disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA is the focal point of the federal special education law that requires the students with disabilities to be educated in an integrative way, least restrictive environment. Evidently, the special education services offer a wide range of placements from the least restrictive setting to a general education classroom and to the most restrictive in the separate special education institutions or schools, respectively.

In the article, Philippe Tremblay discusses the historical and conceptual approach to the special education. Specifically, he enumerates the contributions of the individuals who pioneered in the special education and explains the primary goals of life in providing special education services for children with disabilities. Most importantly, the author purposely defines special education as a well-designed instruction at zero cost to the parents of a child and meets the special and unique needs of the child with a disability. Moreover, the author provides the medical definition of disability to inform the public with great awareness about children with disabilities.

Clearly, in this article, the authors emphasize that for the public to understand the conditions of the children with disabilities, it is necessary to understand fully the battles fought by the concerned children before and until today. The importance of history and tradition is the key for the schools, educators, parents, peers, and society to see the conditions and struggles of children with disabilities and special needs. The children with disabilities need a proper, special education. The special education law demonstrates the common values and special programs for the needs of the children with disabilities, especially to prepare for their future.
