Students with disabilities are being integrated into the regular classroom instead of most of their instruction occurring in one on one situations with special education teachers or with other students with disabilities. Now, a new emphasis has been placed on keeping children with disabilities in the classroom with peers who do not have disabilities. This is especially stressed during subjects like language arts, mathematics, music, art, and physical education. In order for the classroom teacher to adequately instruct the student with a disability, an individual education program is developed by the classroom teacher, special education instructor, and parents. Parents are a critical part of the successful education of their child and usually they are actively involved. Three major benefits of integration is a fading negative stigma associated with special education, peers without disabilities are become more accepting and comfortable around those students, and a better education for the special education children.
