They also point out that "high-functioning autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and speech and language impairment are now being identified at higher rates and occupy an aggregate “other” category within high-incidence disabilities. ". There isn't extensive research into the similarities between the occurrence of these typical disabilities and those in the "other" category, therefore we have to examine a broader perspective. The research in this study incorporates the student's level of cognitive ability, academic performance, and behavioral performances (2014 Journal Citation Reports, Thomson Reuters, 2015). Results showed no indication of differences, besides student "behavior" in EBD, that was significant enough to warrant a more in-depth analysis. The implementation of inclusion and intervention practices for inclusion will be based on these findings.
Here are some exciting resources to use with high incidence disabilities:
