Inclusive education is an integral component of schooling in the United States. More than 7 million students in the United States qualify for special education services, and most of those students spend at least part of their school day in general education classrooms. Despite decades of advocacy for disability rights, students with disabilities continue to experience barriers that challenge their ability to thrive in their schools and communities. To overcome these barriers, educators and providers need the knowledge and tools to create inclusive and equitable environments that optimize learning outcomes for their students. 

SRI Education’s disability education researchers and technical assistance providers apply their deep content knowledge and methodological expertise to produce relevant and usable findings from rigorous studies, resources that educators can use across disability categories and age ranges, and new and innovative tools such as robotics and augmented reality to increase access to challenging content for students with disabilities.
