Review of the Research on Inclusive Classrooms: Academic and Social Outcomes for Students with and without Disabilities; Best Practices; and Parents' Perceptions of Benefits and Risks. Information Capsule. Volume 1701

Over the past few decades, an increasing number of schools across the U.S. have adopted inclusive education models in which students with disabilities (SWD) attend classes with their nondisabled peers. This Information Capsule summarizes the research on the academic and social outcomes of inclusion on students with and without disabilities. Most studies have found no significant difference between the academic achievement of SWD in inclusive classrooms and SWD in self-contained special education classrooms; however, no consensus has been reached regarding the impact of inclusion on nondisabled students' academic achievement. Most researchers have concluded that inclusive classrooms have a positive impact on disabled students' social outcomes, but the impact of inclusion on nondisabled students' social outcomes has not yet been determined.
