This article will attempt to clarify the issues surrounding inclusion, define terminology associated with inclusion, and help the reader to understand several placement options related to inclusion. Although the words mainstreaming, integration and inclusion are often used synonymously, their technical meanings differ. By clarifying the differences between these terms, educators and parents can better determine the goal of the educational program. Generally, mainstreaming is used with students whose brain injuries are minimal and who are at grade level using the standard curriculum. It is imperative to note that students with brain injuries who are mainstreamed may always need adaptations in order for them to benefit to the fullest extent from the curriculum.
