The article presents a report on student teaching. Accountability, advocacy and individualized programs are the new pledges of allegiance of the educational establishment. However, theories, practices, modifications, relationships and concepts are initiated without concern or reference to the individuals who are the subjects of a study. The inability to differentiate reality from theory, suitability from a popular phrase, effectiveness from prejudices, supports the contention that interventions have not changed, but new phrases have been coined. In the process of condemning the blind acceptance of alphabetical abbreviations or rhyming phrases without proposing and justifying a valid base to identify the needs of children with developmental disabilities is to continue to perform without concern for change, innovation and most important, what is reality. One must delineate and identify significant variables and their relationships in the process of teaching. Textbooks and periodicals are often written by authorities who, in many instances, may not have faced the realistic problems of children.
