I agree Lzra and I think that's an important distinction. When talking about educating, those who have issues that affect their ability to be educated, are less well-served in a regular classroom where regular teaching methodologies are in place for regular students. A physical disability doesn't impact a person's ability to learn. A learning disability does- so unless there are modifications in terms of what is taught or how it's presented, these kids often are not learning much at all.
As an aside, I think the parents of children with disabilities are often the unsung heroes. At the end of the day teachers get to go home and relax. Parents/caregivers are never off duty.
