As such, the variance between and among levels of academic accessibility leaves a tremendous amount of students in its wake due to any number of special needs challenges prevalent throughout the educational system. While the clamor is quite significant for greater attention to be paid to special education needs, the manner by which to approach these modifications continues to incite a great deal of debate, whereby each side of the argument contends what they believe to be the most appropriate method for reaching this particularly challenged population. What appears to be at the bottom of the long list of considerations, however, is the financial toll any sweeping changes will have upon the education system in particular and the American society in general. Annotated bibliography lists 16 sources. 20 pages text; 20 pages annotated bibliography.
