To Reach for the Stars: How Social/Affective Education Can Foster Truly Inclusive Environments.
Epstein, Trina; Elias, Maurice
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n2 p157-62 Oct 1996
Deinstitutionalizing the mentally ill failed because proper implementation required large-scale societal changes. Dumping disabled kids into regular education without appropriate supports could mirror that fiasco. Inclusion can help create a sense of community through promoting acceptance and respect among classmates. The Social Awareness-Social Problem Solving Project aids this process. (28 references) (MLH)
