| Summary: | This guide focuses on the inclusion of students with learning disabilities (LD) in general classrooms. The booklet is organized around six major concerns: (1) what general education classes are really like (their usual organization, their differences from one another, and their assumptions); (2) what classrooms are like for students with learning disabilities (typical general classroom characteristics as related to common characteristics of LD students); (3) the process of change and restructuring in schools and classrooms (results of changing the usual classroom ecology and structure, and effects on students); (4) difficulties in changing schools and classrooms; (5) the needs of students with learning disabilities (questions to consider in determining a student's educational placement); and (6) the purposes of special education for LD students. Recurring themes in serving LD students in inclusive settings are identified in a concluding section, focusing on the enormous complexity of schooling, the critical role of teachers, the value of collaboration, and the need to expect resistance to change.
