Special Education / Harmful Labels for "Slower"
Children ? : A 5 page analytical look at special education

unnecessary. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Labelhan.wps

challenging aspects of addressing student needs in Special
Education is the process of student assessment to determine
eligibility for services by Special educators and extended

individual education plan (IEP), and to reflect gains,
improvements and specific areas of concern for the child
with a Special Education designation. This 3 page paper

Telethons As A Societal Dilemma / Labeling The
Handicapped : 6 pages in length. Although telethons have
long been commended for their ability to raise money to help
disabled persons, the writer of this paper argues that there
also exists a number of reasons to criticize them as actually
doing more harm than good. Labels such as "victim,""
cripple," and "wheelchair-bound" are demeaning. They
invoke undue pity from telethon viewers and resentment
from the disabled. Moreover, corruption and scandal are
linked to these media masquerades and ultimately, a grave
societal dilemma is presented by them. Bibliography lists 5
