Abstract
This paper explains that full inclusion, which means the all children get the same education to the fullest extent possible, presents a problem with emotionally or behaviorally disturbed children that disrupt the classroom and whose needs are exceptional, requiring carefully considered instruction. The author points out that the situation for these children is made worse by behavior standards called "zero-tolerance", a policy that dictates that no instances of bullying will ever be overlooked; however, the student in question may not have better skills in place to replace bullying to meet his needs. The paper relates that one solution is to provide services in a "wrap-around" manner, a program works on all the stressors on the child's life rather than focusing only on the school day and emphasizes solving the child's problems within his natural environment.
From the Paper
"Under some circumstances, it is easier to think about inclusion for a student than under some other circumstances. It might be very easy to think about inclusion for a sweet boy with an IQ around 60 who tries hard and who rarely deliberately misbehaves. For some educators, it might be easy to think about inclusion for an autistic child who has academic potential, especially if the district has a good support system in place, with experts who can help them as they learn to meet that child's unique needs."

Abstract
This paper examines the history and competing arguments in the debate on whether learners with disabilities should be included in the 'normal' classroom environment. It explains how inclusion may not be the ideal solution in all cases, but suggests that a full inclusion model best serves the interests of the learners and society as well. The writer explains that the philosophy of inclusion hinges on helping students and teachers become better members of a community by creating new visions for communities and for schools. The writer concludes that while it must be acknowledged that there are costs associated with inclusion, from an idealist perspective, the clear economic and social benefits to society from educational inclusion override these costs.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The issue of inclusion and inclusive practices in education with respect to learners with disabilities is one of the most controversial debates in the field of education. While there has been a general movement towards the full inclusion of all students with disabilities in Western countries such as Canada, studies have found that the actual level of inclusion and inclusive practices does not meet the ideal. Indeed, there is even debate whether inclusion best serves the interests of all students in this group, especially those with emotional and behaviour disorders (E/BDs) (Heath et al. 2003)."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the necessity for a full-inclusion policy in connection with special education. The plan of the research will be to set forth the policy goals and options under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which mandates provision of a least restrictive environment for special students, and then to discuss the legality of full inclusion versus mainstreaming or partial inclusion.
The limits of debate regarding IDEA are set forth ..., with a view toward showing that public policies emanating from the law, perceived as advocacy for those whose physical, mental, or emotional disabilities demonstrate a need for special beneficial educational treatment, appear to be subject to interpretation of legal meaning or intent."

Abstract
This paper uses autism as an example of a disability and addresses the issue of allowing children with limited physical and mental capabilities to be allowed into a regular school system. It analyzes laws and legislation which have recently been passed and especially looks at the concept of "Inclusion" which encourages these children to be part of the mainstream education system.
From the paper:
"The Green Paper, Excellence in Education (1997) describes autism as a condition that disrupts the development of social and communication skills. Those effected by autism are socially isolated from the rest of mainstream society. Children and adults have difficulty relating to others. They do not often develop friendships and they have difficulty relating to the feelings of others. They need order in their life and develop strange behaviors in order to cope with the daily stresses of life. "

Abstract
This paper discusses inclusion discipline in the educational system. The paper explains that recently there has been a push throughout the nation for the placement of special education students in the regular classroom environments. The paper examines the actions that must be taken by an administrator when making provisions to ensure that the students receive quality education and also to reflect that the methods utilized in the Individualized Educational Program are promoting quality behavior in the regular classroom.
From the Paper
"Inclusive education has faced many challenges in the classroom that is so diverse in terms of student?s needs and accommodations. The Individuals with Disabilities Act was passed with the intent of protecting and integrating disabled individuals. To complicate matters the passing of the ?No Child Left Behind Act? by the present administration brought with it what has the feel of a ?conflict of interest? in view of the pre-existing IDEA legislation. Through the evaluation of IEP?s, or the Individualized Educational Program, the program that evaluates students and assists in the decision making as to whether they will be included in the regular classroom environment, which is termed ?inclusion? or if the individual will be contained in the special education class."

From the Paper
"The law with IDEA and the law in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are conflicting laws when viewed from the administration and educators view. Inclusion is a problem only where resources are restricted from fulfilling the funding aspect that is a vital requirement for successful inclusion. Without the resources available for successful implementation the consultative/collaborative environment that is one of the ingredients in the success of inclusion then there is no way for inclusion to be positive for all students thereby creating a level of discrimination in the classroom. Findings also show that there is a chance of discrimination in use of inclusion in the classroom."

Introduction
What It Means
Philosophy
My Beliefs
From the Paper
"The field of special education has exploded for the past few decades. Today children who have special needs are being accommodated so that they can become educated in a regular education classroom as often as possible. Federal law mandates that the children who have special needs are accommodated and assisted in a learning environment at no cost to the parents beginning at the age of three if needed. While opponents of such measures believe that it pushes children together that are not necessarily at the same level, thereby creating the more advanced students to have to slow down to wait for the special education children, I believe that the inclusion of special education children has the exact opposite affect on overall learning as well as the development of social skills."

Introduction
Inclusion Defined
Providing Inclusion
Predictors of Success
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Years ago, students with special needs were relegated to a classroom down the hall. They typically had special lunch periods away from the other students, and they were not offered music, art and other things that the student body incorporated into their day. In addition, their lessons were often extremely simple and there wasn't much concern about whether or not they got done. The landmark decision of Brown vs Board of Education in the 1960's changed all of that. While the suit was originally about an African American student who wanted to attend an all white school, the impact of that case forever changed the method of delivery for special education."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"With many researches indicating that inclusive education has a positive bearing on academic performance it is definitely a positive move to move towards an inclusion environment. There are two important considerations, which need to be evaluated in context of implementing inclusive education. Firstly the question as to whether inclusion is a complete solution for the students with all levels of disability has to be addressed. As discussed above this question is a bit complex and needs a specific approach based on the degree of disability of the student. Secondly, the effects that inclusion will have on the standard of normal students has to be analyzed. The success of the whole system hinges on the committed effort on the part of the teachers in understanding the varying needs of the students and adapting their teaching approaches to suit the individual requirements without compromising on the standard of education."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of inclusion of special education students in mainstream classes. The paper contends that the literature that is available on special education students and their inclusion into general education classrooms dates back a long way. However, for the purpose of this paper, only current literature is discussed. This is due to the fact that perceptions often change, and the focus here is on what has been happening recently when it comes to this very important issue. There are several concerns that are involved, and there are also many good reasons to include special education students in general education classrooms. The pros and cons of the issue are addressed in the paper and backed up with information from the studies of current authors. The paper presents an interview that was conducted by the researcher regarding special education students.
From the Paper
"The interview was done with Mr. Como, who is a third grade teacher at the Camino School in Camino, California. He teaches general education, and was asked about his experiences and opinions when it comes to including special education students into the general education classroom. Although he does not have special education children in his classroom every year, he has had them in his classroom over the years that he has been teaching. In one case he discussed having a student in his class that was in a wheelchair and had a full-time aide to assist him. He was somewhat disheartened because this student was not really able to participate much with anything else that the class did. The level of participation that the student could actively engage in was the watching of videos when the class had them."

Abstract
This paper examines how educational institutes throughout the country are seriously considering inclusive education since there is a growing consensus that specialized education systems have not bought forth the expected results. It discusses how specialized education systems, which were developed for children with various degrees of learning disabilities, have proved to be more of a problem than a solution. It analyzes how inclusive education on the other hand would not only improve the social skills of these special students (where they get a chance to mingle with others) but also develop the tolerance of the normal students. Through a literature review and study proposal, it evaluates the factors involved in the implementation of inclusive education system with an emphasis on the role of teachers.

From the Paper
"From the psychological perspective as well secluded education is more damaging. Inclusive education on the other hand would not only improve the social skills of these special students (where they get a chance to mingle with others) but also develop the tolerance of the normal students. Though, among parents there is division in opinion regarding inclusive education in majority of cases they seem to favor inclusive education as being more productive from a futuristic perspective of the students. ?Both research and anecdotal data have shown that typical learners have demonstrated a greater acceptance and valuing of individual differences, enhanced self-esteem, a genuine capacity for friendship, and the acquisition of new skills."

Abstract
This is a paper discussing the impact on Federal Legislation on current status of inclusion into the public school systems. It addresses the precedences this legislation could set and what the effects on general education accross America will be. The legislation requires schools to assure that students make continuous and substantial academic improvement and that students reach a proficient level within twelve years.
From the Paper
"On December 18, 2001 Senate approved the landmark educational reform legislation, the legislation included a $26.5 billion education reform measure that demands new accountability for low-performing school. The legislation also provides assistance to the most needy schools and students of the nation. The legislation is the most sweeping federal school bill since President Lyndon Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 1965. The new legislation creates new testing and accountability systems and also adds new literacy, after-school and teacher quality initiatives. The bill also features several provisions authored by Senator Feinstein including the better direction if the title I funds to reflect the real number of poor students, the formation of a new 'master' teaching program, creating smaller schools environments and enhancements to the 1994 Fun-Free Schools Act. The House overwhelmingly approved the measures last week and president Bush signed the bill. Senator Feinstein stated on the legislation: "The bipartisan education pill puts in place some strong and unprecedented reforms to make our schools more accountable and help students learn more. For the general public the legislation helps assure our schools get real results and that we know what those results are [Charter Friends 2002]."
