Although we focus on the needs of
exceptional children, we 33 ourselves describing
their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage 34
our attention, we also see the importance of the 35
players and the scenery of the 36 itself.
Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often
the 37 to their growth and development. And it
is in the public schools that we find the full 38 of

hopes, the prejudices, and the 41 values of the culture
itself. The great 42 in
exceptional children shown in public education over the past thirty years 43

have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that
education.
