Academic Performance, Social Competence, and Mainstream Accommodations: A Look at Mainstreamed and Nonmainstreamed Students with Serious Behavioral Disorders.

Meadows, Nancy B.; And Others

Behavioral Disorders, v19 n3 p170-80 May 1994

This study compared 13 students (grades 6 through 8) with behavior disorders who were mainstreamed part of each school day with 6 similar students not mainstreamed. Overall, the mainstreamed students had higher reading and written language scores, better work habits, and higher grades. Nonmainstreamed students demonstrated more extremes in social behavior. Teachers made minimal modifications for mainstreamed students. (Author/DB)
