This study consisted of a comparative analysis of two
instructional models for students LD in the Communauté
française de Belgique (French Community of Belgium):
co-teaching in an inclusive setting and solo teaching in a
self-contained special education classroom with pull-out
(speech therapy, remedial teacher, etc.). We focused on the
indicators that enabled us to compare the two models and to
measure their effect on the students’ outcomes in reading/
writing, mathematics and attendance. We performed a characterisation
and a comparison of the populations in the two
subsamples (inclusion and special education), followed by
an analysis of the resources assigned to each education
model, with a final comparison of the students’ outcomes to
external testing as well their attendance levels.
