Abstract
The Utah Elementary Integration (UEI) Model, a federally funded model demonstration project, focused on providing a comprehensive and appropriate education for students with severe disabilities within their neighborhood elementary school. In this article we (a) review the rationale and data base for supporting neighborhood school placements, (b) provide an overview of UEI model components, (c) summarize data on the outcomes of model implementation, and (d) discuss issues related to the successful implementation of neighborhood school models. Outcome date are reported on several measures of adaptive behavior and social integration for participating students (n = 27), as well as on the reactions of the general education homeroom teachers who included the participating students with severe disabilities in their classrooms for part of the school day.
