Special Education Inclusion
Special education inclusion signifies the participation of special education students in regular education classrooms and provision of support services to these students. The main objective of inclusion education is that all students in a school, regardless of their strengths and their weaknesses in any area, become part of the school community. Every student develops a feeling of belonging with other students, teachers, and support staff. In segregated special education, children will not learn how to function in a non-disabled world. For instance, children who are disabled in terms of communication and are emotionally distressed would not communicate and might remain in a more emotionally disturbed state in segregated settings. The federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) holds it mandatory for schools to educate children with disabilities in general education classrooms.

Education should be special for all
The effective use of “special” education for all children can eliminate the need for students or educational professionals to “swim against the mainstream” in order to find success in the education system, Mr. Thomas maintains.
THE SEPARATE field of special education needs to continue its evolution. No longer a completely distinct entity, special education should complete its dissolution and begin a total merger into what is now termed general education. Pete Idstein’s December Kappan article, “Swimming Against the Mainstream,” is an example of the systemic weaknesses that reflect the need to combine both general and special education into a more substantial system of education for all. Idstein’s examples of mismanagement and unequal use of instructional resources serve to point out the divisiveness caused by the artificial separation of the field of education.
