Abstract
Inclusion of children with special educational needs in general education classrooms has been a consistent trend over several decades. Many jurisdictions have introduced legislation and processes to require adjustments to educational programs to ensure the needs of students are addressed. This chapter provides the background to a large-scale systematic review examining the nature of adjustments provided in classrooms. Issues addressed include terminology used to refer to adjustments, frameworks relevant to the provision of adjustments such as Universal Design for Learning and various multitiered approaches, as well as the role of teaching assistants. The chapter also considers approaches to examining adjustments and presents the key aims of the systematic review.
