Abstract
P.L. 94-142, and subsequent laws, require that all students receive a free and appropriate public education provided in the least restrictive environment (LRE). When a child study team has determined that a child is eligible for special education services they decide which program will most benefit this child's academic progress. Numerous variables determine placement in the most appropriate and least restrictive environment, so that when a child is placed in the general education setting for content area classes it is in the best interest of that child.
This study provided documentation of the attitudes, perceptions, and concerns of general education social studies and science teachers on the inclusion of low reading level students in their classrooms.
