Inclusion for the most part has worked well in our schools. For some of the kids it is only a class or two others more. However, I will tell you this, our particular area has tons of money and the schools are very small. Two of the people I know, both married to Drs, have full time help with their kids. They are specialists that work with the kids from the minute they wakeup until they go to bed. One of the moms has 4 kids, 3 boys and a girl. Two of the boys are autistic, one is high functioning but the other is profound. Each goes to a different public school in the area because of the varying programs. My niece who lives in NY, is 4. She was diagnosed early. From that moment, she has been in school and has teachers come every day, 7 days a week to work with her. Personally, I think there is a lot of waste and nonsense that schools spend money on, I would rather see it go to helping these children adapt and learn.

Below is a link. Near the middle of the page under the heading RESEARCH it gives the conclusions of several different studies, that seem to refute you statement. I didn’t cut and paste because it’s rather long.
Did you have data that supports your above statement, or did you just parrot something you heard someone else say?
