1. Studies show inclusion is more effective than mainstreaming
Mainstreaming VS Inclusion
- Mainstreaming: brings students with special education needs into general classrooms only when they do not need specially designed instruction.
- Inclusion: is a philosophy of acceptance and community. General education classes are structured to meet the needs of all the students in the class.
Mainstreaming is not inclusion.
LRE: Least Restrictive Environment
The LRE provision of the law is intended to produce attention to the accommodations and adjustments necessary for students with disabilities to access general education curriculum.
• Students
• Teachers
• Parents
• Administrators
• Health Professionals
Successful inclusion happens when teachers, administrators, parents and health professionals work together with students to provide flexible school structures and access to supplementary aids and services to facilitate learning for students with special needs.
