Word origin
The concept of mainstreaming originated in the 1960s as part of the movement towards inclusive education for students with disabilities. It was a response to the segregation and isolation of students with disabilities in special education settings. Mainstreaming aims to promote social integration and equal educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their abilities.
