Winfried Kronig:
Expansion der Sonderpädagogik
The Expansion of Special Education

2005, 94-103

Summary: All theories of special education did not succeed to establish a clear and definite concept of disability, which can be useful for special educational practice. All simplistic definitions have to fail in view of the theoretical complexity and the inconsistencies of empirical observations. Nevertheless, the specialists still make their diagnoses of disabilities with a seemingly competent self-assurance and to an ever growing extent. The quest of the backgrounds of this expansion of special educational diagnoses inevitably leads to fundamental questions about general education. Thus, the meaning and the purpose of the present delimitation of the responsibilities of special education toward general education more and more lose their evidence.

Keywords: Concept of disability, selectivity of special educational diagnoses, allocation of resources
