Mainstreaming, also known as inclusion, is an educational approach that involves placing students with disabilities into regular classrooms alongside their peers without disabilities.
The goal of mainstreaming is to provide students with disabilities the opportunity to participate in the general education environment while receiving appropriate support and accommodations.
This approach promotes social interaction, enhances learning experiences, and fosters a sense of belonging for all students.
Mainstreaming requires collaboration between special education and general education teachers to ensure that students' individual needs are met within the inclusive classroom setting.
General education is a foundational component of higher education that provides a broad range of knowledge and skills across various disciplines.
An inclusive classroom is an educational environment that accommodates students of all backgrounds and abilities, ensuring equitable access to quality education.
