Abstract
Students placed in a special education class labeled multi-categorical, self-contained with integration (MC-SCI) possess a wide variety of educationally handicapping conditions. The term multi-categorical means that in the class at any one time you may find students diagnosed as being learning disabled, emotionally disturbed or mentally disabled-educable. The term self-contained with integration legally defines the amount of service the students placed in the class may receive. As opposed to a resource program, in which a student may receive no more than two hours of special programming per day, in the SCI class, the teacher may be responsible for nearly total programming as long as the student is integrated with the normal population part of the day. In practice, most SCI students are integrated into all classes except those that require more completely developed academic skills, i.e., language arts, math, social studies. The specific classes a student may be left in or removed from is determined only after a careful evaluation of his/her learning skill levels.
