Effective Classroom Placements for Students with Disabilities

Abstract

Ann M. Trimm-Alcarez

In today’s classrooms, placement setting appropriate for students with disabilities has continued to be the center of controversy with administrators, teachers and school leaders. There has been an ample amount of research in inclusion versus pull-out pro- gram, teacher’s perception in inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education classrooms, and the support and ac- commodation they will receive to succeed academically. The “one-size-fits-all” concept is still the norm when it comes to learning. Therefore, the literature review will generally conclude that there is a positive correlation between inclusion, teacher’s perception and academic achievement of students with disabilities in the general education classrooms.
