The Social Context of Dunn

Abstract

The impact of Dunn's article was enhanced by the prevailing sentiment of the 1960s in favor of the environmental position and the press for civil rights. The adoption of resource specialist services in place of special day classes that was noted in the 1970s had profound curricular implications, which are examined. The dramatic changes in the number of EMR students and the behavioral characteristics of those currently identified render many of Dunn's assertions invalid for the current situation. The current role of advocacy in policy formulation is discussed as an unfortunate legacy of Dunn's influential paper.
