By law, greater numbers of students with special needs are in a general classroom. Now general education teachers must provide accommodations so students with special needs can learn the same material as the general student population. Surveys were given in general classrooms to students with special needs, general education students, and science teachers to evaluate how both students and teachers feel about accommodations and other issues relating to students with special needs in a general science class. According to the students' self-reported survey results, students receiving accommodations and students without accommodations were equally likely to receive a grade of C or higher in science. The student survey results suggest that accommodations are most effective if the general education students in the class are not even aware that accommodations are being provided to some students. Sixty-one percent of the surveyed teachers felt forced to give the accommodations to students with special needs in a general science class. Teachers also reported that providing accommodations required more preparation. Accommodations appear to work when given appropriately to students with special needs.
