Product Description:

This study investigated the academic outcomes of special education students in Indiana placed in high and low inclusion settings. Student scores in these two settings from the Indiana State Test were compared from fourth grade in 2014 through the eighth grade in 2018. Results showed that students with disabilities who spent 80% or more of their time in a general education inclusive classroom did significantly better in reading & math than their peers who spent more time in separate classrooms.
