Being Physically Disabled in Iowa: Special Schools

Today we continue with our five-part series about what it means to be physically disabled in Iowa.

They both fall under the auspices of the Iowa Board of Regents. But as reporter Rob Dillard tells us, they are taking different approaches to providing an education for the young people they serve.
