Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions that students receiving special education services have regarding the effectiveness of Classworks in helping them gain equity in the general education math classroom. Critial Disability Theory provided the theoretical framework for the study. Data collection methods included individual interviews and group observations. Results indicated that Classworks provides a framework that increases access to the general education curriculum through improving computational skills. Classworks does not, however, prepare students for the rigorous, real-world problems experienced in the classroom.
