Handicap


             However, this movement is not without much controversy. "As this current movement sweeps the nation, all children in full inclusion schools will be affected, both by the presence of a wider diversity of students and teachers in the classroom and by administrative policies flowing from this philosophical stance."" .
             Advocates of a policy of full inclusion believe that special education classrooms constitute a form of segregation and that separate classrooms for special education students, like classrooms and schools segregated by race, are inherently unequal. "Drawing from the legacy of the Civil Rights movement, advocates of full inclusion for children with disabilities stated that inclusion is the ultimate goal for all children with disabilities regardless of their disabilities and current placement."" Advocates for full inclusion raise the issue of equity. They say, "disabled youngsters are burdened with an additional handicap when they are segregated from their nondisabled peers because they are denied the chance to develop the social and academic skills necessary to function in the mainstream of society."" Full inclusion advocates believe that 1students with disabilities learn more in integrated settings than in segregated settings as they develop better working relationships, communication skills, social interaction skills and .
             friendships when they are in an inclusive environment. .
             Advocates also believe that full inclusion reduces the stigma attached to a separate placement that is detrimental to the self-esteem of a child. Academic achievement is not the only purpose of education. "Integrating a handicapped child into a nonhandicapped environment may be beneficial in and of it self even if the child cannot flourish academically."" They further believe that inclusion is more efficient. They believe that students with disabilities lose valuable time from general education class activities during pullout times in which students go to resource rooms.
