All children with disabilities are to be
educated to
the "maximum extent"
with children who do not have disabilities.
~ Federal Law I.D.E.A. Sec. 612.5 (A) ~
"Inclusion is a right, not a special privilege
for a select few".
~ Federal Court - Oberti v. Board of Education ~
"Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal"
~ Supreme Court - Brown v. Board of Education ~
Schools who let one criterion, such as a specific
disability, automatically
determine the placement are likely to be held in
violation of federal law.
~ Supreme Court - Board of Education v. Rowley ~
