Abstract
Italy has a long history of placing students with disabilities in general education classes, referred to as integrazione scolastica. Since Italy relies less on special education schools and classrooms than many other similarly developed countries, its practices and policies continue to be of interest internationally. Following introductory information, this compilation of English-language resources about integrazione scolastica is divided into four main parts: (a) a glossary of terms, (b) a timeline of events, (c) an annotated bibliography (2000-2012), and (d) key lessons learned. It also includes three appendices: (a) a bibliography of earlier resources on integrazione scolastica (1987-1999), (b) a bibliography of related resources (1991-2011), and (c) Italian and European web sites pertaining to integrazione scolastica, inclusive education, and disability.
