Since the passing of what we now call the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, students who were previously educated in separate facilities or campuses are now educated in their neighborhood schools. Even though students with severe disabilities are now in their neighborhood schools, many spend the majority of their day in separate classrooms. When they are not in separate classrooms, it is possible students with severe disabilities are participating in art, physical education, and music classes alongside their same-aged peers.
