This edition of Special Ed Rising is an episode that I felt an immediate need to put out.  It addresses a growing vocal chorus against the term “special needs,” a euphemism that I have used in my blogs, on my podcast and in my work for over 30 years. There is a clarion call to have this term changed.  My intention is to give voice to those asking for this change as I share studies and opinions to support their claims.
