Mainstreaming in General Education

For my topic I've chosen to do mainstreaming in the general education setting. I'm very passionate about this topic because I am a dual major in special ed and elementary ed, so it pertains to both areas. I'd like to focus on how placing disabled students in the regular classroom effects not only them, but the other children. I've taken a semester class on special education laws and regulations, so i'm aware of the basic ideas and platforms for this topic. I strongly believe mainstreaming is important not only for the disabled student, but the general education population as well. It gives the disabled student a chance to progress socially around their peers, and also gives the gen ed students a chance to experience working with somebody who requires special needs. I personally know families with children who are involved in mainstreaming, that could give me great insight on the topic.
