Special Education Aids Disadvantaged In City
In Decatur City Schools special education serves all exceptions to the norm. Mrs. Margaret Vann outlines programs from trainable retarded students in Brookhaven and Oak Park to a pilot hard of hearing classroom and a physically handicapped unit at Riverside High. The goal is full integration within peer groups as units grow beyond 50 teachers city and county wide under a federal grant.
