Inclusion in the classroom

  My short definition of special education would be : an instruction designed to meet the unique needs of a student. I've been doing some research over Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), which is a special need. ODD is a psychiatric behavior disorder that can disrupt the learning disability of an person because it has the tendacies of making a person aggressive and purposefully bothersome to other people around them.
  Children with ODD have a hard time learning because they easily annoy and blame others for their mistakes, while they are stubborn and refuse to follow commands and request given by teachers.
This leads me into inclusion in the classroom, or "inclusive education". Inclusive education happens when children with and without disabilities participate and learn together in the same class. Which is great for students with any special need, not just for children with ODD.
  Inclusion in the classroom is a plus for special need, I feel like they need the structure and learning experience just like any other person. But inclusion also may be hard to do because they have to find an lesson plan that'll fit the needs of there special needs students which I get would be a challenge. I think it would be hard to get a student with ODD to sit through a lesson, without getting annoyed and off track. But research shows that when a child with disabilities attends classes with peers who do not have disabilities, good things happen.
