The opportunity to access to all classroom instruction and peer-to-peer communication is a key assumption of regular education and of 504, IDEA and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA
...
). A November 2014 policy guidance from the US Department of Education and US Department of Justice clarified that, under Title II of the ADA, schools are required to ensure that communication for students who are deaf and hard of hearing are as effective as communication for others through the provision of appropriate aids and services, thereby affording an equal opportunity to obtain the same result to gain the same benefit as that provided to others and to participate in and enjoy the benefits of the district’s services, programs, and activities . The ADA requirements restate the principles stated under Section 504, which is often seen as the means used to fulfill the requirements of ADA. Per the U.S. Department of Justice2 : Public entities must not discriminate against, deny the benefits of, or exclude qualified individuals with disabilities from participation in any service, program, or activity. The aids, benefits, and services provided to persons with disabilities must be equal to those provided to others, and must be as effective in affording equal opportunity to obtain the same results, to gain the same benefit, or reach the same level of achievement as those provided to others. These requirements apply to all school-related communication for children with known hearing, vision or expressive speech impairments, ages 3 through 22, who are educated in public schools, including charter and magnet schools

These benefits include:
Classroom lessons that are tailored to the needs of all learners because inclusive education makes use of differentiated teaching instruction;
Making differences less “different”, which fosters empathy and builds friendships amongst learners with different abilities; and
Creating high expectations for all persons involved in the learning process.
