Comparison of Three Educational Programs for Students with Moderate Mental Retardation Integrated in Regular Schools: Preliminary Results.

Saint-Laurent, Lise; Lessard, Jean-Charles

Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v26 n4 p370-80 Dec 1991

Using 41 students (ages 6-10) with moderate mental retardation as subjects, 3 different forms of academic integration are compared: special classes using a functional curriculum, special classes using a traditional curriculum, and regular classes. After the first year, no significant intergroup differences appeared for measurements of cognitive variables or in functional behaviors. (Author/JDD)
