FULL SYNOPSIS

This program follows two disabled girls through a year of Denver's public school system: one, a second grader with autism; the other, a seventh grader with Down's Syndrome. Both students are considered "included," a process required by the legislation to integrate disabled children into regular classes and activities. But does access to regular classes ensure an equal -- or even adequate– education?
