Taking Inclusion Back To Its Roots.
Crockett, Jean B.; Kauffman, James M.
Educational Leadership, v56 n2 p74-77 Oct 1998
As a political concept, inclusion captures the moral high ground by signifying something more desirable than "exclusion." However, not all parents of children with disabilities view mainstreaming as feasible or desirable. The 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act supports a movement away from full inclusion back to special education's roots in individualized learning. (20 references) (MLH)
