Mainstreaming

Mainstreaming is about placing students with disabilities or special needs into regular classrooms for part or all of the school day, instead of keeping them in separate classes. The idea is to give them the chance to learn alongside their peers while still providing any extra support they might need. In short, it’s about helping students with special needs be part of the general classroom as much as possible.
