Abstract
There are laws to protect individuals with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, was designed to ensure that all individuals, including those with disabilities receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. Implication methods, parental concern have been researched, as well as the effects of inclusion on students as well as teachers in the classrooms. While inclusion is imposed on some students, the results may vary depending on a number of circumstances.
