Are you wondering if your child would be more successful in Special Education or General Education???

Inclusive education means that all students in a school, regardless of their strengths or we aknesses in any area, become part of the school community. They are included in the feeling of belonging  among other  students,  teachers, and support staff. The federal  Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)  and  its 1997 amendments make it clear that schools have a duty to educate children with disabilities in general education classrooms.
