What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Some examples include the following:
Pros:
• Being educated alongside typically developing children can improve
the functioning of children with ASD, including their social
functioning.
• Children with ASD who are educated in the inclusive classroom are
likely to engage in more social interactions than they would in other
environments.
• Students with disabilities tend to perform better in inclusive
environments.
Cons:
• Team members may shy away from restructuring of the practice and
approach of education.
• It may result in possible adverse effects of the presence of students
with disabilities in the general education classroom.
