Research Paper Inclusion is a type of teaching that is being researched by many school districts across the country. It is the act of combining special education students into a regular school setting. Inclusion is a very controversial topic when it comes to the education of children, both regular education and special education students. There are many beliefs about the well-being of all students and their ability to learn and function together. This belief has held back school districts' adoption of the full inclusion program. People believe this will cause problems in the classroom for both general education and special education students. They feel that it will be a distraction for all students and that it will harm both their education and their emotional development. The following articles show that inclusion is extremely beneficial for all students and that popular beliefs and stereotypes regarding full inclusion are not entirely correct. The first article, “Full Inclusion, Dream or Reality” (1995) focused on the passage of the Persons with Disabilities Act which had a major impact on the educational rights of all children, particularly children with disabilities. This law ensures that all children have equal rights to education, where these children can expand their knowledge and receive education with the least restriction. Special education students will be able to be in classes with students their age regardless of their ability level or type of disability. This fully inclusive environment will allow students to develop socially as well. Students are now able to associate with many different groups of people if they were segregated in their classroom. These social interactions will be published halfway through the article, otherwise many people may turn to full inclusion as more research is published. Bibliography Biklen, D. (2000 November).
