What is incorporation?
Since the beginning of the US Act on Education of Individuals with Disabilities (Idea) in the 1970s there was a great debate on how to effectively educate children with special needs. Some argue that special education students should spend school days in a special source room designed specifically for them, while others claim that the best choice for students with special needs is integration that the student places in the class for regular education throughout the school day. Proponents of inclusion argue that it allows the student to associate with the appropriate age level, reduces social stigma and allows students of special education the same educational opportunity as students of regular education.
The idea of complete integration - students of special education staying in the regular class throughout the school day - have encountered skepticism from many people. Critics claim that complete integration is taking valuable resources from the IAL training specification, such as source pointsNosta and special educational helpers such as computers and other accommodation. A regular educational classroom will often not be equipped with these valuable resources, which will not be able to become a student of special education. In addition, regular class teachers are often underestimated or not expelled to manage the needs of many special education students throughout the school day. By not having access to the Faculty of Special Education best equipped with their needs, the student may not have this student to access the Faculty of Special Education.
Inclusion supporters claim that a special education student has the right to spend their day in a regular class and should not "earn" a way from a special education classroom. An alternative theory called mainstreaming places a student in a general education classroom only for certain subjects, or for part of the school day, but not others. Proponents of inclusion claim that mainstreaming does not go far enoughto enable students of special education the same education as students of regular education, and also claims that this technique increases social stigma. Incorporation would avoid such a scenario and allow a student of special education to normal socialization and access to the same education.
Debate on how best to educate special education students still exists to this day. In schools throughout the United States, both mainstreaming techniques and complete classification techniques are used and each method can be used effectively if each individual student is correctly evaluated and regularly evaluated. Schools must develop an individualized educational plan (IEP) for special education students and the best method for the student's inclusion in the general classroom is discussed on IEP planning.
