I think that means it makes the school administrators nervous to have them around - visibly?
School administrators don't wan tto pay for the expensive specialists to come into the school and provide tuition.
That's why mainstreaming ain't working. Because the schools don't have the resources to provide the specialist training needed.
Partial mainstreaming might work. Pupils could go to specialist school part of the week which works in concert with public school system to provide Individual Education Plans and training to PS teachers so they can implement the IEPs.
I imagine this is happening in some places. Well I hope it is.
