Chondra has been diagnosed with dyslexia and is eligible for special education services, but, instead, she is placed in a regular education classroom with support. This is called mainstreaming.
Explanation:
Mainstreaming, in the context of education, is the practice of placing students with special education services in a general education classroom during specific time periods based on their skills.
Mainstreamed students are part of the special education classroom. Â Mainstreaming has shown to be more academically effective than exclusion practices. Higher self-esteem is the result when mainstreaming of students is practiced. Better and enhanced social skills is the greatest advantage of mainstreaming.
