There are currently many students with disabilities being placed in a more restrictive educational math setting which is hindering the future of these students. This study was conducted to understand how Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs) are written to support students with disabilities in the general education setting. The IEPs of students with disabilities in the general education setting were reviewed for proper accommodations, appropriate goals, and present levels to ensure the IEPs are written to accurately provide everything the students will need to access the math curriculum. This study focused on John Dewey's progressivism theory and Jean Piaget's cognitivism theory, exploring the need for individualized and adapted lessons to create an understanding of math students with disabilities thus bridging the math learning gap. The IEPs provided many accommodations and recommendations for general education teachers to follow to support the students' learning. The IEPs also revealed how present levels of performance and math goals for students in the general education setting are not always in alignment as the math goals are not always being written to the needs of the student. This caused a disconnect between the growth each student needed to make academically and the supports they were being provided to reach this level. Additionally, this study revealed the needs of general education teachers to adequately educate students with disabilities in a general education setting and how the administration and special education teams can support them. General education teachers need support and training in working with students with disabilities in differentiation and proper implementation of accommodations to cover for the limited training received during their teacher training.
