Describe the "inclusion debate" and the two major issues at the heart of the debate
What will be an ideal response?
The "inclusion debate" concerns the degree to which students with disabilities should be included in the general education classroom. As with all "debates" there is a range of opinions on this: from those who feel that literally all students with disabilities, no matter how severe the disability, should be included in the general education all the time; to those who believe a continuum of placements is necessary to provide the best education to children with disabilities, even if some children are completely segregated from others. At the heart of the debate, then, is the desire to eliminate the continuum of placements and to increase the amount of time students with disabilities spend in the general education classroom. By creating partnerships between general and special educators and by developing and promoting supplementary aids and services, much has been done towards this goal.
