Dr. Henry has prepared a very thorough and thoughtful assessment of research needs concerning the relationships between farms and rural communities in the South. He has been true to his reputation—Dr. Henry does not skim lightly over any topic. He has diagnosed the subject area carefully, referenced current literature in his appraisal of research and policy needs, and drawn very defensible conclusions. Better still, his conclusions are basically consistent with my biases. To have one's intuitive conclusions substantiated by the experts is heady stuff indeed. The points in his paper with which I disagreed most consistently were found in extensive quotes from others, so we are clearly both on the right track.

The purpose of this article is to respond to the perspectives of Agran and colleagues concerning barriers to general education placement for students with significant support needs from an “on the ground” lens of participation in mediations and due process hearings, as well as conversations with parental inclusion advocates throughout the country. We focus on rights, wrongs, and remedies regarding three key issues: (a) strengthening professional development, (b) conducting and disseminating research on inclusive practices, and (c) reforming policy for stronger implementation and accountability.
