Inclusion has been around for quite a few years, but the reality of making it work can be challenging. Consider a leveled system where the student(s) requires different support based on the amount of help needed. (McNary, Glascow, & Hicks, 2005)

* Teacher makes accomodations

* Team selects objectives for passing class

* Grade level state assessment

INTERVENTIONS: (as needed)

* Modified assignments, Student mentors, Notes provided

* Alternative modes of representation of knowledge( oral presentation, computer generated writing,  multiple choice)

* Positive behavior supports
