According to Their Peers: Inclusion as High School Students See It

Abstract

Inclusive education has been studied from a number of perspectives, including those of general and special education teachers, administrators, and parents. The perspectives of 257 high school students about inclusive education were examined. Results indicate that these students were supportive of inclusive education and recommended the practice. Students also indicated that their peers with disabilities added a dimension of diversity to the school, had become part of the learning community, and needed to be prepared for the future.
