information - dwindle to little or nothing. While some studies have been conducted on special needs high school students, finding anything specific, or even finding high schools that are specifically
devoted to special needs children, is difficult. Part of the reason for this is, by the time a student reaches secondary school, he or she is mostly integrated into the
mainstream high school environment. Though literature is pretty scanty about how communication functions in special education schools at the secondary level, there
