Description
This article describes changes experienced by the multidisciplinary team of the Center for Learning Disabilities in Tirat Carmel, Israel, in the wake of the enactment of the country's Special Education Law. Over the course of several years, the team working at the Center was able to adapt to the changes, while preserving the professional level of their interdisciplinary treatment of children with special needs. The process of change comprised four stages: entry into the process, implementation of the process, assimilation of the process, and assessment of the results of the change. Over time, the team became the lever for the integration process, for multidisciplinary treatment of children with special needs, and for the empowerment of parents and teachers. The Special Education Law, passed in Israel in 1988, introduced a change in the placement of children with special needs, giving priority to their integration within regular classes (Reiter, 1999; UNESCO, 1994). The law mandated the integration of children with special needs in regular classes, requiring the education system to confront the change without delay on both the organizational and pedagogical levels and in the ecological sphere with its social and physical aspects (Schanin, 1992). As the overarching aim, the law emphasized the commitment of the education system to draw up an individualized program for each child with an integration within the community. The amendment to the Special Education Law (Ministry of Education, 1998) made these children's right to integration a legal requirement, rather than a mere recommendation
