What constitutes an educationally exceptional child? Over time, society’s views on exceptional children have changed and evolved. In this program, we explore the differences in intellectual, communication, sensory, behavioral and physical aptitudes of many exceptional children, including those with multiple and severe handicapping conditions. Live-action video and interviews help viewers to develop an understanding of a wide range of exceptionalities. The program also examines key efforts that have been made to advocate and legislate for the educational needs of exceptional children.
