Abstract

Moving to virtual instruction can be daunting, but it is no reason to stop including students with disabilities. Co-teaching can, and should, be used as a service delivery model to support students in their least restrictive environment, which is often the general education classroom. School leaders need to continue to promote inclusive education, even during a pandemic.
