Selecting Instructional Interventions for Students with Mild Disabilities in Inclusive Classrooms

Abstract

Of the many changes taking place in the field of education, one of the most significant is the movement toward inclusion (McLeskey, Henry, & Hodges, 1998). Students with mild disabilities are being served in the general education classroom to a greater extent. In addition to students with identified disabilities, many students are considered at risk for disabilities. To provide effective instruction for this wide array of students, general educators must be armed with the knowledge and skills to provide assessment and intervention strategies that are potent, yet efficient enough to be implemented in the general education classroom .
