A Case About Amy by R. C. Smith. ISBN: 1566394120. From the time Amy entered kindergarten in Peekskill, New York, her parents, Nancy and Clifford Rowley, battled with school officials to provide their deaf daughter with a sign language interpreter in the classroom. The Rowleys' struggle culminated five years later in a pivotal decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court majority concluded that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act did not mandate equal opportunity for children with disabilities in classes with typical children. Schools were required only to provide enough help for children with disabilities to pass from grade to grade. The Court reversed the lower courts' rulings, which had granted Amy an interpreter.

Alone in the Mainstream: A Deaf Woman Remembers Public School - When Gina Oliva first went to school in 1955, she didn’t know that she was "different." If the kindergarten teacher played a tune on the piano to signal the next exercise, Oliva didn’t react because she couldn’t hear the music. So began her journey as a "solitary," her term for being the only deaf child in the entire school. Gina felt alone because she couldn’t communicate easily with her classmates, but also because none of them had a hearing loss like hers. It wasn’t until years later at Gallaudet University that she discovered that she wasn’t alone and that her experience was common among mainstreamed deaf students. Alone in the Mainstream recounts Oliva’s story, as well as those of many other solitaries.
