Annotation: This publication is the summary of the final report of the Project on Classification of Exceptional Children. The report provides an assessment of the art of classification of children. It weighs the effects of labeling and of experiences that come to children as a consequence of being classified, and it makes recommendations for diminishing the harmful effects of classification and labeling while preserving their benefits in planning, providing, obtaining, and evaluating services. This book attempts to summarize the highlights and recommendations of the report. It is an abbreviated report to those who are concerned about exceptional children: teachers and school administrators, physicians, psychologists, and social workers; legislators, and public officials, national, state, and local leaders; and parents. It discusses the dimensions of the project, the limitations of current categories and labels, problems in institutional care, recommendations for improvement, and priorities.
