Instructional adaptations have been implemented in inclusive classroomsfor curricular integration within the general education curriculum and effectivecontent-area learning for students with disabilities. The purpose of thisstudy was to draw more specific methods for how to use and implementinstructional adaptations in inclusive elementary social studies and scienceclasses for students with disabilities. Accordingly, empirical studies onimplementing instructional adaptations in elementary inclusion classes wereselected from peer-reviewed journals and analyzed by the following fivecomponents (environment, group, methods (i.e., activities, strategies, andmaterials), contents (i.e., goals and contents), and assessment) of instructionaladaptations. Based on the findings, implications for future research and practicewere discussed in terms of associations between instructional environmentand group adaptations, use of various instructional groupings for more effectiveacademic achievement, adaptations of instructional methods reflecting thenature of subjects and contents, expansion of difficulty level and scope forinstructional goals and contents, and use of various scoring systems anddevelopment of methods and tools for assessing content-area learningoutcomes of students with disabilities.
