Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of segregated and integrated placements in the public school system for students with severe disabilities
What will be an ideal response?
Advantages of segregated placements include independent individualized instruction that is not in competition with the mainstream curriculum. Such curricula allow for direct relationships to the world of work and independent living. Disadvantages include limited opportunities to interact with peers, not enough emphasis on transition to life after school.
Integrated placements (sometimes called inclusion) also have advantages. Placing students with their peers allows both students and peers to establish realistic links that will eventually lead to accommodations in industry and social-recreational domains. Yet students may not get the full support they need in inclusive classrooms if resources are short, especially teachers’ time resources.
