Mainstreaming Blind Children

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the pros and cons of pursuing a full inclusion policy of placing blind children in general education classrooms.

From the Paper:

"Since the passage of the Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA) and its reauthorization, educators have confronted tremendous pressure to mainstream children with disabilities in deference to the IDEA's least restrictive environment (LRE) provision. Essentially, to the extent possible, children with disabilities, including blind children, should be educated alongside their non-disabled peers in general education classrooms."
