Students with multiple disabilities spend most of their day in special education settings. However, the professional literature suggests there are many benefits to placing these students with their classmates without disabilities. What are the benefits to students with and without disabilities?
What will be an ideal response?
Benefits for students with severe and multiple disabilities include improvements in academic skills, social skills, motor skills, communication skills, and appropriate behavior skills. Parents of children with no disabilities who had classmates with severe disabilities reported that their children were more accepting and understanding of individual differences. Students without disabilities made significantly greater gains in reading and math when learning in inclusive classrooms than their peers in noninclusive rooms, and when at-risk students supported students with severe disabilities in a classwide peer tutoring program, their academic skills increase.
