Background/Context This study is based on prior research regarding the need for explicit social instruction for children with special needs, cooperative educational models, and the goals and relative successes of inclusive educational practices. The author refers to several studies on these subjects, including those by Kavale and Forness; Salend; and Sapon-Shevin, Dobbelaere, and Corrigan. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study This teacher analyzes how truly “inclusive” her class was during 1 year of collaborative team teaching in a second-grade inclusion classroom. Employing research-based methods of cooperative education, she considered how successful she was in facilitating meaningful relationships between special education students from all backgrounds, and their peers. She also examined whether it was possible, despite differences in academic and social skills, to fully incorporate those children with special needs into a classroom so that their general education peers would value and include them in their activities and social life. Population/Participants/Subjects/Setting In this study, a second-grade teacher took on a new position as the general education teacher in a New York City school's inclusion team. Seven of the 24 students in the new class were special education students. These children struggled with a variety of developmental delays, such as expressive and/or receptive language processing disorders, physical disabilities, and social/emotional issues. Five of these children were bused from less affluent neighborhoods near the school to attend the program. Whereas the general population at the school consisted of upper-middle-class White and Asian families, these 5 children were from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and were either African American or of Latin American descent. Research Design This action research was conducted by a practicing teacher who collected data through interviews, sociograms, observations, and other anecdotal means.

The statistics of the Ministry of Education and Science show a positive dynamics in the availability of special education. However, for inclusion of children with special needs into the mainstream education, the provision of support staff (psychologist, speech therapist, special educator) is essential. The aim of this research is to investigate the national legislation on the inclusion of children with special needs in the pre-school and elementary school education system, exploring the funding aspect. The study analyses the legislative basis for the provision of special education in mainstream schools. The research investigated the provision of special education in general education institutions in Alūksne Municipality in September - December 2016 (case study) and carried out several interviews with field experts. The study is conducted in the context of theory of inclusive special education. The study shows that in providing education support staff in an educational institution in the framework of the existing public education and special education funding model and in the context of a rural region with a low population density, there is a need for a rational approach, careful planning and process management: gathering information about all pupils with special needs in a municipality, cooperation with parents, management and mobilization of all resources.
