Definition

Educating a child with a disability in a general education classroom for all educational services.

Description

One of the mandates of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is educating children with disabilities in the “least restrictive environment.” This stipulates a continuum of services ranging from hospitalization to home-based education to resource room to partial inclusion to full inclusion. A student in full inclusion has a disability and spends all school hours with same-age, typically developing students in the general education classroom. A special educator often consults with a student’s general education teacher to assess the needs of the student and provide supports allowing the student to benefit from instruction.
