Content Abstract
This study examined educational practices in regular education classes in grades K-5 to determine changes required to facilitate the full-time mainstreaming program for students with learning disabilities. Data collected during the planning year of a mainstreaming project permitted a detailed analysis of the elementary school and the extent to which it accommodated individual differences. Data from informal and structured observations, interviews, and surveys of students, parents, and teachers suggested that fundamental changes in instruction are necessary for the regular education initiative to work in this school.

Methodological Notes
This study was conducted in an urban school district with more than 42,000 students in grades K-12 and approximately 3% of the population identified as learning disabled (LD). To obtain information about the instructional environment and the day-to-day operations of this school, a case study design was used. Three sets of observations provided qualitative and quantitative data about the instructional program of the school; (1) initial classroom structure and student behavior observations, (2) instructional activity observations, and (3) student/teacher behavior observations during reading, math, and special subject classes.
