Principles for Educating Students with Disabilities

Principle 5: Whenever Possible, Specialized Instruction Should Be Provided in Integrated Environments
Many times, specialized instruction for students with disabilities can be provided in general education classrooms. "Specialized" does not mean that instruction has to occur in a segregated location. For example, the student with mental retardation described above could be taught names of countries while the general education class studies industries and economies of Europe. The student with learning disabilities might be taught to read a list of vocabulary words while the remainder of the class reads short stories. Many times segregation occurs because of the way educators think, not the way students act.
