These guidelines were developed as part of Maine's statewide project for inclusive schools, Project LEARNS (Local Education for All in Regular Neighborhood Schools). The model proposes that students with severe disabilities be provided with a range of services and supports within regular classes rather than with a continuum of placements. The guidelines briefly address: (1) commitment to inclusion, (2) commitment to adequate and appropriate planning for inclusive schools, and (3) commitment to provision of improved educational and related services.
