The process of including students with learning disabilities (LD) into general education classes has afforded these children the opportunity to learn alongside their same-age peers. Often, LD students require accommodations and/or modifications in order to succeed in the general education setting. General education teachers must provide these students with the accommodations/modifications that are recommended on each child's individualized education plan. The current study examined rural teachers' attitudes toward accommodations/modifications in their classrooms. Three questions were asked: 1) How effective are the recommended/implemented accommodations/modifications?, 2) How fair are the recommended/implemented accommodations/modifications to use in the general education classroom?, and 3) How efficient are the recommended/implemented accommodations/modifications to use in the general class setting? The results of this study revealed that rural general education teachers favored accommodations/modifications that are less intrusive to their day-to-day teaching procedures, take the least amount of time to implement, and separate less the learning disabled from non-disabled students.
