q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical argument in the brief about U.S. inclusion efforts for students identified with disabilities; it is an interpretive claim, not an empirical test, and the article offers no effect data for it.

"often these efforts do not achieve their aim because they start from a place of exclusion. This starting point carries with it unconscious biases that perpetuate the assumption that some students must be invited into what school offers"
