It has been said that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

This qualitative instrumental case study was conducted through interviews of eleven reading teachers/specialists …

The purpose of this study was to examine the barriers to inclusion, which often includes the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) eligibility process itself, from the perspectives of key stakeholders to include Local Education Agency (LEA) representatives, …
