ARTICLES ATEACHABOUT : Teaching Tools For Inclusion By Anthon McLaws MS,OTR/L Staff occupational therapist Isaac School District Phoenix, Arizona January 2000 ATEACHABOUT , where she travels the country in her fifth wheel and brings her programs directly to teachers, administrators, therapists, psychologists, teaching assistants, and parents. During the 1990s, inclusion of students with special needs into general education settings made significant advances. Although inclusion continues to be controversial among some school administrators, teachers, and support staff, recent research reveals that the trend to educate students with learning disabilities in the least restrictive environment is increasing throughout the U.S. (McLeskey, Henry, & Axelrod, 1999). This trend is supported nationwide by educators and parents as well as by the IDEA. The authors of the above research state, "…there seems to be an emerging consensus that students with learning disabilities should spend most of the school day in general education classrooms, and that most of the services that are needed by these students may be delivered in these settings" . Educating students with special needs in a general education setting is not a barrier-free pursuit. Patty Guard, the director of the Education Department’s Office of Special Education Programs, states that some geographic areas are further behind when it comes to inclusion because of "individual funding formulas and local policies" ("Report: IDEA Students," 1999). Another common barrier is the lack of staff training. McLeskey, Henry, and Axelrod recommend that "professional development be provided so that teachers can attain the new skills required to meet student needs" in an inclusive classroom (1999).

It also means understanding how individuals learn motor skills and apply principles of motor learning during the planning and teaching of physical education to students with disabilities.

It further examines different kinds of disabilities and how to deal with them. These include children with ADD, blind, deaf, motor impaired and manic depression. The paper explains that it is a growing trend to try and mainstream special education needs children as early as possible. From the Paper: "In the classroom, teachers are primarily responsible for ensuring that special education students are provided with equal opportunities for education. While instructors should not lower academic standards in the classroom, they should make every effort to make reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. By making simple adjustments, such as allowing students to record lectures or changing the format of a test, teachers can make sure that special education students do not have academic or social disadvantages."
