IDEA mandated that children with disabilities
receive a free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive
environment. To meet this mandate, schools have developed services ranging from
placement in general education classrooms to homebound and hospital programs.
Supporters of segregated facilities believe that better programs can be
provided by housing all services for students under one roof. Inclusionists
believe that students being prepared to live in the community should be
educated in that community with their peers.
What is your personal position on the inclusion of
students with disabilities in general education settings? In
considering this topic take a look at your own community to discover the
special education services that are available.
Where are students with various types of disabilities
educated? Does this fit with your personal position? Why or why not?
