The book takes a pointed stance on several critical issues in the professional and societal discussion surrounding disability. It warns against exaggerated expectations tied to institutional changes in the school system and advocates for the preservation of specific institutional offerings where they are needed for educational reasons. The author firmly opposes the dissolution of traditional disability categories, an unreflective approach to the concept of normality, and a naive trust in the resource-based approach. It is compellingly demonstrated how some of the currently popular guiding ideas for dealing with disability lead to a loss of attention and care for people with disabilities, resulting in their special needs being overlooked.
