Due to many federal laws, students with disabilities are to be taught in the general education classroom to the greatest extent possible. The numbers of students in a classroom in numerous Illinois school districts have increased throughout the years. This factor impacts student learning. This quantitative single case research study was designed to investigate how increased class size affects the academics and behaviors of students with disabilities being taught in the inclusive classroom. The study used two students with disabilities from Sawyer Elementary school. Observations were done in the students' general education classroom as well as the special education classroom to compare the students' academics and behaviors in the different environments. The results confirmed the students' academics and behaviors worsened when in the general education classroom housing more than 35 students versus the special education classroom of less than fifteen.
