In 2006 and 2007 over 6.5 million children, or 13.6 percent of children enrolled in public schools in the United States, were identified as children with disabilities or special needs. Their educational paths were framed by laws designed to address the needs of each child who is thus identified. In recent years, multiple critiques have been mounted against the focus on individual rights as a basis for educating all children, with the capabilities approach offered as a promising substitute by educational and political theorists. Economists have long argued that human capital development is a more productive approach to analyzing education and justifying investment in the schooling of children.
