School should be an environment in which all individuals feel a sense of belonging. However, this has not consistently been the experience for students with disabilities, as the education system has historically been marked by exclusion and segregation of these individuals. Until relatively recently, there was little expectation that children with disabilities would or could attend public schools. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) addressed this inequity by requiring that students with disabilities are entitled to a free appropriate public education, delivered alongside their peers in general education settings or in the least restrictive environment to the maximum extent appropriate. Despite these legal mandates, achieving this standard in practice remains challenging.
