Nine students (age 6-12) with severe disabilities were observed in their general and special education classrooms using a two-minute time sampling procedure. General education classrooms provided more instruction, utilized more whole class instruction, provided a comparable amount of one-to-one instruction, addressed academic content more, and utilized typical peers more.
