Special education innovator Sally Smith dies

The world of special education has lost one of its leading lights. Sally Smith, founder of the Lab School in Washington, DC, died this past weekend. She was 78. Smith started her school in 1967, a time when children with learning disabilities had nowhere to go. Smith created a school that influenced educators around the country. But her career in education started with one of her own children. Read about her innovative work in special education at NPR.org.
