Research
on
Classroom Ecologies : Implications for Inclusion of Children With Learning Disabilities
;
Deborah L. Speece (Editor), Barbara K. Keogh (Editor); Hardcover; $59.95;
This volume identifies major influences within classrooms and considers
the implications for children with learning disabilities. The movement
toward the "least restrictive environment" for the education of children
with disabilities is weathering a wave of reinterpretations that include
mainstreaming, the Regular Education Initiative, and inclusion. These
chapters establish what is known about classroom ecologies from both
general and special education perspectives, integrate the viewpoints of
researchers and practitioners, and chart directions for further research
specifically related to children with learning disabilities. Taken as a
whole, the content of this volume underscores the limits of our current
knowledge and, at the same time, provides directions for necessary changes
in both research and practice.
