Why Some Students with Severe Disabilities Are Not Placed in General Education
Kauffman, James M.; Travers, Jason C.; Badar, Jeanmarie
Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, v45 n1 p28-33 Mar 2020
We acknowledge that some students with severe disabilities are not being taught in general education. We do not agree that inclusion in general education is inherently better, nor do we think it is always appropriate, and we provide some reasons that a full continuum of alternative placements is not only legally mandated but appropriate. We are supportive of placement in general education for children with severe disabilities when it is appropriate. [For "Why Aren't Students with Severe Disabilities Being Placed in General Education Classrooms: Examining the Relations among Classroom Placement, Learner Outcomes, and Other Factors," by Agran et al., see EJ1246688.]
