Inclusion as a Philosophy Which Leads to Loss of Vision: A Response to Rainforth's Philosophy versus Student Need?

Hilton, Alan; Smith, Tom E. C.

Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v29 n4 p253-55 Dec 1994

This pair of rejoinders to Rainforth (EC 609 966) by the original authors stresses that commitment to an educational philosophy (such as the inclusion philosophy) should not override the educational needs of individual students with mental retardation. The lack of empirical support for many such educational philosophies is also noted. (DB)
