Inclusion Strategies for Students with Learning and Behavior Problems Perspectives, Experiences, and Best Practices Second Edition Edited by Paul Zionts

This book provides the components necessary to implement successful inclusion by presenting the experiences of those directly impacted by inclusion: an individual with a disability, parents of a student with a disability, teachers who implement inclusion, and researchers of "best practices." It integrates theory and practice in an easy, how-to manner. Specific step-by-step practices are detailed regarding such topics as planning, involvement of the principal as a change agent, the involvement of parents, the development of disability awareness of staff and students, training for staff, provision of adequate support, structure and support for collaboration, implementation of adaptations, and policies and methods for evaluation of student progress and for the entire inclusion program.
