How should students with disabilities be programmed for classes in which they do not receive special education services?

For all subjects for which the student's IEP does not recommend special education services, the student must receive instruction in a general education class with their peers who do not have disabilities. The number of nondisabled students should be more than or equal to the number of students with disabilities in the class in order to ensure an appropriate level of integration. An important consideration in determining the number of students with disabilities and nondisabled students in a nominally “general education” class is that the ratio must not result in a de facto special education class.
