TitleVideo: Going to School -- Ira a la Escuela
Body
From: "Anselmo Villanueva"

This documentary examines the gains that the Los Angles Unified School
District has made in complying with civil rights laws on inclusion for
special-education students. It highlights the story of three Latino
special education students in Los Angeles, both at home and as they
participate in classroom activities. Parents speak about the difficulty of finding schools that would accept and not segregate students from their peers. And students talk about making friends and learning how to get along in regular classrooms. It includes a touching story of a girl who survived a grenade attack by the El Salvadoran military during that country's civil war. A useful resource for teachers, counselors, and administrators. Directed and produced by Richard Cohen. 2001. 64 minutes (Available in English or with narration and subtitles in Spanish) VHS $49 for K-12 teachers and libraries, $99 for colleges, sliding scale for parents of children with disabilities.
