Over the years, special education and disability-related terms change. At one time, ADHD was called minimal brain dysfunction. Bipolar Disorder was called manic depression. Thankfully, mental retardation became mental disability. The term many educators use to describe "mainstreaming" has also evolved over time to become "inclusion." Learn about inclusion, what it means, why it is important, and alternatives that must be made available to children with disabilities. More inclusion resources:
