One place to look is ERIC digests. It is a publisher's clearing house set up by the government to document journals and periodicals on education topics.
You could find the journal articles from ERIC in your local college or university. You may not be able to take them out, but you could make copies.
Another is LDonline.org. It is a website for parents, teachers, and students who have learning disabilities. Look in the section for teachers. It has published journal articles.

I am a researcher in the area of disability issues--and do research on inclusion.
"Legitimate research" is out there--and there is a lot of it--way too much to begin to give you details. But I can tell you how to find all you need--and then some.
First--there are several categories. Policy issues, research on inclusive classrooms and teaching, inclusionat the college level, legal issues, etc. Here's how you find things:
Go to a local UNIVERSITY library (or just go to one online to get started). Other types of libraries won't have what you need--or only a minimum. Onnline--or with a university library computer, find the page where you can search public databases. Education databases and social science databases are what you need. Some good search parameters are "disabled students" plus any of the terms I mentioned above. You can also do this by using the "advanced search" on Yahoo or Google.
A final--and important note--some of what you want won't show up. You will also need to check searching for "disability studies".. Particularly the Disability Policy Studies Quarterly. You'll also find the "Journal of Disability Studies" but that , while excellant, is heavy on theory and based in the UK, so its value to you may be limited.
IF you don't have access to a university account to download articles, you're bound to know a college student who can help you. You can--but probably won't need to--photocopy stuff at the library.
Other online resources include the American Foundation for the Blind and similar organization websites--these will have a lot of education-related information and often have downloadable articles.
Finally, if you are doing serious research, skip all popular magazine articles and newspaper articles--they are wrong as often as they are right.

Go to your local schools. Make appts to meet with the diagnosticians - NOT the counselors. If you are looking for information for your own child or research material this is the best place as they deal with it every day. Call, make an appt., be up front about what you are wanting the information for and could you come in and speak with them. They are the ones that set up the Individual Education Program for kids with any disability in the classrooms which include any and all modifications that must be made whether it's extra time to do/turn in work or special tools or special classes such as resource or speech, etc. They are a very valuable tool if you are really interested in this subject.

I typed in "Inclusion, Classroom" and came up with a number of articles and strategies concerning Inclusion.
My wife is a Special Ed. teacher, so I know you are scrambling for your child, or perhaps you are a Teacher and are wondering what all the fuss is about?
Good luck.

The Council for Exceptional Children has some good info. As well as ldonline.org. Qwestia.com has loads of journal articles but you have to pay to read the entire thing.

Get off the internet and go to a REAL Library and have them help you do academic searches in REAL journals. Trust me there is plenty of info out there.

NAEYC.org it's free! You should also be able to find information on your state department of education website, also free.
