Abstract

My literature review portion of this project discussed the history of mainstreaming, in addition to its advantages and disadvantages. It also talked about the social effects of mainstreaming and the impact teachers' attitudes have on its success. In addition, it discussed a number of effective mainstreaming strategies along with current practices of inclusion. The study I conducted for this project focused on one participant who is integrated into a general education setting from his special education setting. I observed and recorded the participant's on-task behavior, along with his social and academic interactions in both settings.
