A Long-Standing Conundrum: Who Should Shoulder the Responsibility for Unmet Special Needs? As the debate over who should bear the responsibility for providing essential services to children with disabilities intensifies, a pressing question remains unanswered: whose duty is it when these young individuals are denied the support they are legally entitled to?
