Placing a child on the autism spectrum in a bustling classroom with a pair of noise-canceling headphones and a parallel support assistant to handle the student's inevitable outbursts is a tactic not adopted in the name of "inclusion," but is placed within the framework of integration.

How can educators and schools truly create inclusive classrooms that meet the needs of every student? Research evidence suggests which strategies make schools beneficial for all students while ensuring the inclusion of students with disabilities.

However, there are still many schools that continue to operate with 20th-century models, which undermine and disadvantage disabled students. The book thoroughly presents the fundamental principles of inclusive education and the barriers to access and participation. It explores evidence-based strategies for supporting different types of students.
