In a representative survey, the opinions of students’ parents about inclusive schooling were assessed. This article presents descriptive results which suggest support of integration efforts by a majority – however connected with considerable skepticism with regard to common schooling with mentally handicapped children and those displaying behavioral problems. These descriptive results are supplemented by a multivariate model that shows the factors which influence the approval of integrative schooling. Finally, the results are put into the context of the topical inclusion debate.
