Intellectual and Physical Disabilities – Social Inclusion Among Children
Bailey Parzygnat
Legislation mandates that students who qualify for special education services have equal opportunities in the school environment. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Education for All Handicapped Children in 1975 ensured that all children receive free education and require that institutions accommodate each child. However, they do not specify what accommodations. This is up to the individual’s school district and what programs they offer. Some students who qualify for special education services are placed in self-contained classrooms; these students learn academics and life skills. Unfortunately, many of these classrooms are secluded from the general education environment and other students which affects students socially. Mainstreaming self-contained students with general education students during exploratory classes is proposed. Inclusion benefits not only students in self-contained classrooms but students in the general education setting.
