Inclusion and Learning Disabilities: Will the Past Be Prologue?
Mastropieri, Margo A.; Scruggs, Thomas E.; Guckert, Mary; Thompson, Catherine Creighton; Weiss, Margaret P.
Advances in Special Education
The field of learning disabilities has been greatly influenced by both legal and policy decisions throughout its relatively short history. This chapter presents an overview of the historical analysis of learning disabilities and inclusion to provide a context for the present. An analysis of the studies conducted examining effects of inclusive interventions with students with learning disabilities is provided. Finally, predictions for the future of learning disabilities and inclusion are made based on the historical analysis and literature reviewed. Implications for educators, policy, and practice are made. [For the complete volume, "Learning Disabilities: Practice Concerns and Students with LD. Advances in Special Education.
