Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps, v19 n3 p200-14 Fall 1994

This study compared 16 students with either a less or more severe disability from elementary schools using the "full inclusion" model and 16 similar students from schools using the special class model. The study analyzed individualized education plans and also compared program quality and student outcome variables. Significant differences were found which generally favored the full inclusion model.
