As the computer in front of him belts out a song, he begins to bounce in his chair, reaches over to the girl next to him and says, "Wanna' dance, Anna?" They both begin to shimmy in their seats. Sam has multiple disabilities, but thanks to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), he's in a regular classroom in Greenwich, Connecticut. The 25-year-old federal law guarantees the right of disabled children to a public education, but it's also been responsible for a mushrooming population in special education, at a cost that has swallowed school budgets and divided communities.
