Intended for parents, general and special education teachers, Inclusion: The Dream and the Reality in Special Education is a book about laws and practices that impact the inclusion of students with disabilities in public schools. Each chapter illustrates a child who presents a challenging problem. The book presents inclusion issues through compelling stories. People rarely change their attitude based on facts. Stories can change the way we think and feel about issues.
Written by a college professor, teacher candidates find these experiences hilarious or tragic, but always illuminating. As new teachers they must be prepared to confront the important challenge in our schools- reaching every single student, black, white, indifferent or frightened. This is the secret strength and wonder of the American educational system.

Inclusion is a significant contribution to our current knowledge about providing educational opportunities for children with differing abilities. Jeanne D’Haem candidly discusses current practices based on case histories as well as the history of the inclusion movement. We obtain a first- hand view of the teaching methods that are working in our schools today. Parents, teachers, administrators and others that work with children will find a wealth of practical information to help students achieve their rightful place in the community.
