Abstract
The movement for full inclusion is often hindered by the lack of creat ive and alternative teaching methodologies in regular classrooms. Serv ice learning not only offers an alternative to traditional classroom t eaching methods, it is also a vehicle to provide inclusive community b ased instruction, to promote the development of communities, and to pr ovide functional skills training. This paper defines service learning and its components while also discussing applicability of service lear ning for all students.
