Mills, Paulette E.; Cole, Kevin N.; Jenkins, Joseph R.; Dale, Philip S.
Exceptional Children, v65 n1 p79-90 Fall 1998
This study compared three levels of inclusion (special education only, integrated special education, and mainstream placements) on the cognitive and language development of 66 preschool children with disabilities. Analysis of pre- to postgains revealed that integrated special education produced gains that significantly exceeded the rate of normal development. Differences were also found in placement effects between lower and higher functioning children. (Author/DB)
