Pulling Out Groups • Get into groups of 3 • Read description of child with special needs • As a group, determine the least restrictive environment for this child in a school setting • What kind of inclusion would be most appropriate? • Mainstreaming • Inclusion • Full Inclusion • Co-Teaching • Create 4 concentric circles that reflect the kinds of people this child would have in their life based on your placement decision

  7. Child Description 1 • DJ is a 7 year-old boy with serious articulation and language impairments. He can be non-compliant at times, disrupt the classroom routine, and can be destructive when upset. He qualifies for Reading Recovery as one of the lowest readers in his grade, but Reading Recovery chose not to consider him because he may be able to receive other services with special education. Besides reading, writing can be difficult due to his language impairments. However, when he chooses to work hard, all other school subjects are on grade level. Home support is minimal.

He demonstrates poor social boundaries, has frequent tantrums, and produces repetitive noises. Home support is encouraging, but not very active.

  9. Child Description 3 • NL is a 7 year-old boy with autism and speech impairments. He demonstrates poor social boundaries and sensory integration, has frequent tantrums, and demonstrates repetitive movements. He has tested at a Kindergarten level for all school subjects. Home support is strong, but frustrated with the school decisions being made for her child.
