A survey of 264 parents (151 special education and 103 general education) examined parental perceptions and attitudes toward inclusion practices. Quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed that, overall, parents were pleased with the academic and support services their children received and the social aspects of inclusion. Concerns were raised about insufficient teacher education and disability severity in placement decisions. (DB)
