Parents felt that their children were more eager to go to school, take part in all the activities and do their homework. The children could express themselves better about how they felt or what they wanted. They made friends with non-disabled classmates and shared social activities with them such as going to shopping malls or movies.

Integrated classes make students feel good about themselves.
Students with disabilities can learn by watching their non-disabled classmates or by receiving help from them in school work and other activities. What we don't know The studies described here suggest that integrated education has many benefits. But we don't know what combination of factors is needed to get the most benefits. Another problem is that most studies have only looked at a few children. We don t know if the outcomes experienced by a small group of students in one particular setting will also be experienced by other students in different places or under different conditions.
