Abstract:

The authors review results of a qualitative study of how Boston-area Jewish day schools serve students with disabilities. Discussing parents' experiences, both positive and negative, derived from surveys and a focus group, the authors assert that Jewish day schools need to more proactively seek full inclusion and service for students with disabilities.
