Chapter Four
Exceptionalities: Addressing Students’ Unique Needs
Full Inclusion – the more recent movement – directs:• Students attend the school they would normally go to if they had
no disability• No student should be rejected from a school site because of type
or extent of the disability presented• No self-contained classes should operate at the school site; instead
placements should be age and grade appropriate• Cooperative learning and peer instructional methods should
receive significant use in fully inclusive general education classrooms
• Special education support should be provided in the context of the general education classroom and in other integrated environments
Full Inclusion versus a Continuum of Service

Exceptionalities: Addressing Students’ Unique Needs
Intelligence has been defined as the capacity to acquire knowledge, the ability to think and reason in the abstract, and the capability for solving problems.
General or Specific Intelligence(s)• Early researchers believed intelligence was a general or
unitary trait because scores on diverse measures of intelligence including verbal ability, numerical competence, and abstract reasoning were all highly correlated.

Definition• Mental retardation refers to substantial limitations in present
functioning. It is characterized by significantly subaverage intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with related limitations in two or more of the following applicable adaptive skills areas: communication, self-care, home living, social skills, community use, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure and work. Mental retardation manifests before age 18. (AAMR Ad Hoc Committee on Terminology and Classification, 1992, p.5).

Causes• A number of specific organic (i.e. biological/physical) causes
of mental retardation have been identified, including: chromosomal anomalies, inherited diseases, the result of maternal infection with rubella, herpes simplex or syphilis during pregnancy, maternal drug or alcohol use during pregnancy, maternal and fetal blood type incompatibility (Rh factor), and any trauma at birth which may significantly deplete oxygen supply to the child’s brain.
