ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the concept of the inclusive classroom. When thinking about the inclusive classroom and its unique ambiance, one must first consider the needs of the range of students within the classroom. By considering the use and benefits of choice, one can see that by offering choices, teachers really can meet the needs of the whole range of students in an inclusive classroom. One benefit of choice is its ability to meet the needs of so many different students and their learning styles. Another benefit of choice is a greater sense of independence for the students, some who have not had the opportunity to think about their own learning in the past. Choice menus are a way of allowing the students to choose how they would like to satisfy that hunger. The chapter provides some examples of the main types of menus for the inclusive classroom. Each menu has its own benefits, limitations or drawbacks, and time considerations.
