Government Involvement/Business Policies: Before getting into the problem we have to know the meaning of mainstreaming and inclusion. Some say that they can be used interchangeable, but the Public Broadcasting Service otherwise known…

academic needs are not often met in a class specifically for those with disabilities. Through mainstreaming students who “earn” the right to be in a general education class or fully including a special education student into a regular classroom with the help of an aide, these students can have a new approach at learning in a different classroom setting. By integrating special education students into normal classroom settings,…

There are several models used in schools to accommodate students with special needs. Mainstreaming, pull-out, push in, and paraprofessionals are a few of the models utilized in school systems.
