Universal Design for Postsecondary Students with DisabilitiesSarah Dutton
Postsecondary students with disabilities’ access to campus support services, trained faculty, and accommodations was examined in order to explore opportunities for applying universal design (UD) in postsecondary institutions. These students are not fully satisfied with the campus support services they receive and the accommodations available to them (Dowrick et al., 2005; Izzo et al., 2008; Reinschmiedt et al., 2013). Although specialized postsecondary programs for students with disabilities exist, these programs are not inclusive and limit students with disabilities’ access to a typical college experience in which they can interact with and learn from their peers (Papay & Bambara, 2012; Uditsky & Hughson, 2012). Training postsecondary campus support personnel and faculty in UD principles has the potential to alleviate some of the barriers to obtaining postsecondary education that students with disabilities face (Burgstahler & Moore, 2009; Dallas et al., 2014; Embry et al., 2005; Fang et al., 2006; Fleming, 2002; Hetzroni & Schrieber, 2004; Izzo et al., 2008; McGuire et al., 2006; Thomas & McKay, 2010).

Children form a heterogeneous group with diverse cognitive deficits, special educational needs and strengths, and have a legislated right to the continuum of both assistance and support programmes for all level education system. The goal is to eliminate all barriers in order to achieve learning on individual goals while participating in the life of the classroom with other students by their own age. But this conception and out coming at present scenario by this process is not successful because there is some problem arises for inclusive education such as disability, gender, emotional/ behavioral problems, family background, ethnicity, giftedness, migrants, poverty, hearing or visual impairment, language delay, among others. There is some positive implementation of inclusive learning, teaching and assessment strategies. Teachers should keep in mind that these outcomes apply to all and access to general schools for people with disabilities is an advance in the education. However, barriers to learning and participation hinder the school routine of inclusive students, hence the need for resources - human, tangible, political etc. from the schools, parents, families and their communities.

ABSTRACT: While the practice of inclusive education has recently been widely embraced as an ideal model
for education, the acceptance of inclusive education practices has not translated into reality in most mainstream
classrooms. Even though education policies in South Africa stipulate that all learners should be provided with
the opportunities to participate as far as possible in all classroom activities, the implementation of inclusive
education is still hampered by a combination of a lack of resources and the attitudes and actions of the educators
in the classroom. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a deeper understanding of educators' personal
understanding of the barriers to learning and how their understanding relates to their consequent actions to
implement inclusive education in mainstream classrooms. A qualitative research approach was used to establish
their perspectives and to frame questions regarding their perceptions and understanding. The findings, in this
paper, indicate that the way in which educators understand the diversity of learning needs is based on the
training that they received, which focused on a deficit, individualised approach to the barriers that encounter
learning and development.

An Overview of Inclusive Education in the United StatesDr. Mokter Hossain
Abstract:
Being a country of diversity, the United States has had a long tradition of research and practices in special education in the form of inclusion. Since passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) of 1975, now referred to as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004, a free appropriate public education has been available to all children with disabilities. However, inclusion of students with disabilities into general education classrooms has taken decades to be considered appropriate practice. Controversies, research, and legislation have shaped a collaborative relationship between general and special education. A wide range of political, epistemological, and institutional factors have facilitated a more child-centered public education. This chapter presents an overview of current issues and practices in the inclusion of students with disabilities in the U.S. The topics include: historical background; public laws that led to successful inclusion; categories and prevalence, and identification strategies; and inclusion practices for students with mild-to-moderate and selective significant disabilities for providing them equal and appropriate educational experiences in the mainstream classrooms.

7.1 What Is Gifted and Talented?
This section provides definitions of gifted and talented. These definitions do not come from IDEA 2004 because this legislation does not cover students who are gifted. The section continues with a discussion of the prevalence of gifted and talented students in schools.
Defining Gifted and Talented
Gifted is often used as an umbrella term that describes individuals who are gifted or talented. Students who are gifted demonstrate innate abilities that are exceptional. Students who are talented demonstrate exceptional performance related to their ability. Most people use the terms gifted and talented interchangeably.
While there are no universal definitions of gifted or talented, the primary organization that represents gifted students, the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), provides the following guideline:
Gifted individuals are those who demonstrate outstanding levels of aptitude (defined as an exceptional ability to reason and learn) or competence (documented performance or achievement in top 10% or rarer) in one or more domains. Domains include any structured area of activity with its own symbol system (e.g., mathematics, music, language) and/or set of sensorimotor skills (e.g., painting, dance, sports). (2008)
According to the NAGC definition, gifted and talented students demonstrate or have the potential for exceptional abilities in one or more areas.
Another definition, this one from a federal statute, explains that gifted and talented students demonstrate higher performance or are capable of higher performance in intellectual, creative, or leadership domains. According to these definitions, which also vary from state to state, gifted and talented students need specialized instruction, activities, or services in order to develop their exceptional abilities above and beyond general classroom instruction (Stephens & Karnes, 2000).
Gifted and Talented and IDEA 2004
Giftedness is not a category under IDEA 2004, but many school districts serve gifted students through special education offices or programs. The thinking is that students with disabilities require individualized instruction to meet their learning needs, and the same should be true for gifted students. The wide variability in definitions of gifted by both states and districts, though, means that many gifted students are not identified and are underserved (Robertson, Pfeiffer, & Taylor, 2011).
Furthermore, money to provide specialized programs to gifted students does not come from funds provided to school districts under IDEA 2004. Districts provide services through their district budgets; some schools apply for grant funding or work with private organizations to provide programs for gifted students.
Prevalence of Gifted and Talented
According to state-reported data from the National Center for Educational Statistics (2008), more than 3 million American students qualified as gifted in 2006. Each school or district, however, deter.
