There are numerous concerns of those who are currently debating the issue of free appropriate public education. One central concern is the cost of funding for educating a child with disabilities.

Most students with disabilities were uneducated a few hundred years ago. When they began receiving education, they attended separate schools and learned in separate classes. Today, it is common to have students with disabilities learn with other students in called an inclusive classroom.

The mentally retarded population has both a low IQ and the inability to perform everyday functions. Activities such as eating, dressing
