American society has come a long way over the past 40 years toward providing educational services to children with disabilities. But has it come far enough?

The show visits birth to three programs, public schools and colleges; it will include interviews with parents, students, educational leaders and other experts to piece together a portrait of a system of education in America built over four decades.
