2. In your own words, define Mainstreaming and how different it is from Inclusion. Give
maximum of 2 examples of their differences.
✓Mainstreaming is the exceptionality in a general education classroom. It is the placement of a child
with a disability along with regular students. Inclusion is also a placement of a child with disability in
a general education classroom. However, in an inclusion, special education teachers frequently
modify assignments and provide additional support to students with impairments.
• For example, Jennie who have ADHD was placed into a general education classroom along
with the regular students. (mainstreaming) But one time her adhd activated and her
hyperactivity behavior seems uncontrollable so a special education teacher or a professional
not in a field of a certain disorder was called and assessed or provided extra support to
Jenny. (inclusion)
3. Which do you prefer mainstreaming or inclusion? Give your explanation with examples.
✓ In deciding to choose between mainstreaming and Inclusion, the needs of the child must
be taken into consideration since every child is different. One student may perform
academically well when placed in a classroom with peers, so the mainstreaming strategy
might be more appropriate for that child. Another student might find it difficult to keep up
since he or she is unable to comprehend the material being taught at the needed pace, thus
inclusion might be a better option for that student. So totally depends on each child.
