Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inclusive education has become increasingly popular in education for a variety of learners in countries worldwide. Students with intellectual disabilities (IDs) have unique needs in preparing them for their families’ and their own specific goals, especially as they prepare for life after the K–12 educational system.
The aim of this Special Issue of Journal of Intelligence is to focus on the latest theory, practice, and research relevant to inclusive education for students with IDs. Articles are sought which present differing perspectives on implementing effective practice, especially those providing findings on student outcomes (e.g., academic, social and emotional, transition to adulthood) and experiences related to various levels and types of inclusive practice (e.g., least-restrictive environment, full inclusion).
Therefore, we are particularly seeking (1) methodologically sound papers providing data on outcomes for individuals with IDs, and their families, in the K–12 school system or transitioning out of this system, (2) recent and relevant literature reviews, and (3) conceptual, theoretical, and novel practices from a variety of theoretical perspectives are similarly welcome.
