    She can receive assistance with her language from a speech therapist twice a week through Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). A recommended and trending practice currently is to place students in the least restricted environment, where they can learn the most. So that she can still receive his help and be in her least restricted environment, she is placed in a growing trend of inclusion classes. This trend influences special education and education in general, because of the idea that everyone should be able to accept the disabled student as much as anyone else. Although the book discusses different perspectives on inclusion in the classroom, inclusion lessons are considered possible and necessary for the 21st century education we face today.

It is also important to note that Elizabeth's teachers must collaborate to support her, as educators are now expected to use evidence-based practices that work in the classroom. The practices used for Elizabeth are recommended practices in schools and special schools. The practices used for Elizabeth have been shown to be effective because the teacher reported seeing improvements in her social and academic growth. The different aspects of Elizabeth's program provide examples of the different aspects of special education, including what programs or services are available, what trends are occurring.
