Turnbull, Ann P. “ERIC - Exceptional Lives: Special Education in Today's Schools., 1995.”ERIC - Exceptional Lives: Special Education in Today's Schools., 1995, eric.ed.gov/?id=ED Accessed 22 Feb In this text, Turnbull writes on special education combining principles and values with classroom techniques, using real people in real schools to illustrate principles and techniques, and advocates the inclusion of students with disabilities in all aspects of schooling with the provision of supplementary supports and services.
“The Condition of Education - Participation in Education - Elementary/Secondary - Children and Youth With Disabilities - Indicator May (2016).” The Condition of Education - Participation in Education - Elementary/Secondary - Children and Youth With Disabilities - Indicator May (2016), nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cgg.asp. Accessed 9 Mar In this article, participation in education shows how a private school for special need children give more support and one on one with the student then other schools. Other schools may not offer much support. Most schools don’t even grant admission to students who struggle in certain areas. If a child qualifies for special education and the parent chooses to send the student to private school, they will be able to receive some special education services that are paid for by the public school district.

Fourth Edition., 1993.” ERIC - Free Appropriate Public Education: The Law and Children with Disabilities. Fourth Edition., 1993, Love Publishing Co, 1993, eric.ed.gov/?id=ED Accessed 22 Feb Turnbull examines in this text how schools' have a legal responsibility for providing equal educational opportunities for children with disabilities. This text analyzes the six principles of special education law: (1) zero reject, or the right of every child to be included in a free appropriate publicly supported educational system; (2) nondiscriminatory classification; (3) individualized and appropriate education; (4) least restrictive placement; (5) due process; and (6) parent participation.
4. Mulligan, Elaine. “Center for Parent Information and Resources.” Center for Parent Information and Resources, Accessed 22 Feb In this article, Mulligan writes about The responsibility to make a free appropriate public education (FAPE) available to all students with disabilities applies to ALL public schools under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Charter schools are public schools; therefore, they bear the same responsibility.

Accessed 22 Feb Geoff writes how inclusive education/mainstreaming is a key policy objective for the education of children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities. Inclusive education/mainstreaming has been promoted on two bases: the rights of children to be included in mainstream education and the proposition that inclusive education is more effective.
