CONT

Two major characteristics define mainstreaming ... First, it usually only applies to some children, most particularly those with mild disabilities. Second, the target population generally consists of students who are identified as needing special education sevices and who often move from special classes to regular classrooms. Children have to prove their readiness for an integrating setting, rather than the setting to prove its readiness to accept a child.
