The Impact of Special Needs Student Integration أثـــر دمـــج الأطفــــال ذوی الاحتیـــاجـــات الخـــاصـــة

Abstract

Since the concept of integrating special needs students in one classroom with their normal peers-be it mainstreaming or full inclusion was introduced, people have been divided between supporting and opposing it. Academics, researches, schools, teachers, parents and activists have been trying to figure out whether the application of this concept would really benefit special needs students without adversely affecting their peers, and without taking a toll on the available resources of schools and their faculty. This research will attempt to reach a conclusion supported by evidence and academic research as well as draw on the experiences of people directly involved with this problem.
