Taylor's Story: Full Inclusion in Her Neighborhood Elementary School

During this 3-year field study, we examined the experiences of educators and children as they participated in the full educational inclusion of one child with severe disabilities. Data from interviews, sociometric measures, videotapes, and field notes were used to present the perspectives of administrators, general and special educators, students, and Taylor's parents. Benefits to Taylor and her classmates are discussed as well as recommendations for support of schools beginning full inclusion efforts.
