The TASH Inclusive Education National Committee responded to Horner and Dunlap’s (2012)
call to ensure that future research integrates inclusive values with strong science by developing
an inclusive education (IE) national research agenda. Qualitative methods were implemented to
answer three questions: (a) What is the state of IE research? (b) What research still must be
done? and (c) What are recommendations for a national IE research advocacy agenda? The
findings include 15 areas organized within three domains advocating for continued research
across systems level capacity building and support, building and classroom capacity for inclusive
education, and student learning and development. Implications for research and policy reform are
discussed.
