| Abstract | Any attempt to speculate about the future is likely to be hindered by an imprecise and inadequate understanding of the past, and predicting the future of special education is no exception. Nonetheless, various authors have undertaken that challenge and have done so by examining critically the relatively turbulent, albeit brief history of the field. To gain a better understanding of what is entailed in "future scanning," these authors reviewed the professional literature relating to special education, concentrating on works published between 1994 and 2005. What emerged from that review was a multidimensional perspective on both process (e.g., probability of occurrence, impact) and subject matter (e.g., mainstreaming, inclusion) (Wagschall & Lucas, 1983). Next, they invited two nationally recognized authorities in the field of the special education (Michael Hardman and Richard Van Acker) to share their thoughts on the future of special education. The authors hoped to establish a link between the past, present, and the future and, in turn, look for possible ways to influence educational services positively and enhance the life changes of individuals with exceptionalities and their families. Michael Hardman shares his thoughts about policy as it relates to general and specific education. Richard Van Acker discusses past-to-present practices in special education. (Contains 1 table.)
