IN February, I took to this column to say flat-out that I don't believe in the idea of segregating school-going or college-going students with disabilities from mainstream education.

I argued that if students are moved out of mainstream classrooms because they are different, an "out of sight, out of mind" situation can be created - a situation where people with disabilities are seen as "different" from the norm, perhaps even "inferior".
