Organizations

Inclusion has become a topic of interest to diverse organizations. While no one centralized "inclusion" clearinghouse or information center exists to answer questions, provide referrals, or disseminate materials on the subject, there are many organizations and groups that are potential sources of information and guidance. These include:

• any of the organizations listed under "Publishers" in this document;
  
  
• teacher groups such as the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, which offer information to their membership;
  
  
• professional associations for related services providers, such as the American Occupational Therapy Association;
  
  
• disability-specific organizations such as the Learning Disabilities Association of America and The Arc;
  
  
• parent groups and organizations that respond to parents' questions, such as the TAPP Focus Center on Inclusion (719-531-9400) at the PEAK Parent Center; and
  
  
• associations for administrators such as principals and state directors of special education.
