This literature review aims to answer the following research questions (1) How are students with disabilities currently supported in high school-level inclusive STEM lab-based classes? and (2) What are the best practices for supporting students with disabilities in high school-level inclusive STEM lab-based classes? To examine the methods used to help students with disabilities in STEM lab- based courses, current research around special education, inclusive practices, and STEM learning was explored in the form of academic journal articles. According to the literature, STEM educators feel unprepared to support inclusive classrooms due to a lack of training and credentials. Despite feeling unprepared, STEM educators utilize inclusive pedagogical practices focusing on academics, engagement, and physical support to aid learning for students with disabilities in inclusive STEM classrooms. Included are recommendations to redesign educator training, improve assessment accessibility, implement inquiry-based teaching practices, incorporate assistive technology, and revamp lab workstations to best support students with disabilities in inclusive STEM lab-based classrooms.
