Extract

In addressing the subject of resourcing special education programs in times of economic restraint, I want to say from the outset that I do not view the concept of “restraint” in a completely negative sense. In many ways it is in times of restraint that some of ourmostconstructiveand creative planning for effective service delivery occurs. It is at times such as these that we need to take a critical look at what we are doing in the area of program provision and to ask ourselves whether we are meeting needs and achieving outcomes, or whether, in fact, we could be doing better.
