Students are placed in general education classrooms based on their strengths and challenges rather than the disability. They are encouraged to participate in all parts of the school program, such as extracurricular activities.

Noemi 6. Explain Universal Design for Learning Universal design helps all learners access the general education curriculum and succeed in inclusive classrooms by providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement through the use of things like technology, video and audio supports, written and oral projects, peer-mediated instruction. 7. Provide one paragraph explaining the overall impact of inclusion. Inclusion has impacted some students with disabilities in good ways and others in negative. Some students have benefited from this by socializing with their non-disabled peers and enhancing their academic performance. Other students have had a negative outcome because they were not provided with the accommodations they needed. This may be because of poor instruction or because the educators simply didnt have the tools needed to teach the students. Educators form their opinion based on their experience with inclusion.
