Chapter Summary
st
This chapter has presented some of the foundations of inclusion as a philosophy for educating students with
disabilities in general education settings. Some of the challenges associated with inclusion and its implementation
have also been discussed. As you review the chapter, consider the following questions and remember the following
points.

What Is Special Education?
CEC 1 & 6
uv
Special education involves delivering and monitoring a specially designed and coordinated set of
comprehensive, universally-designed and evidence-based instructional and assessment practices and related
services. These research-based practices and services are tailored to identify and address the individual strengths and
challenges of students; to enhance their educational, social, behavioral, and physical development; and to foster
equity and access to all aspects of society.

What Is Inclusion?
ia
CEC 1, 2, 6
Inclusion is a philosophy that brings students, families, educators, and community members together to
create schools based on acceptance, belonging, and community. Inclusive schools welcome, acknowledge, affirm,
and celebrate the value of all learners by educating them together in high-quality, age-appropriate general education
classrooms in their neighborhood schools. Whereas mainstreaming can be viewed as either part-time or full-time
placement based on a student’s readiness for placement in the general education setting, inclusion is thought of as
full-time placement in the general education setting based on the belief that all students have the right to be educated
in general education classrooms.

What Is the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)?
