description School leaders in the U.S. have difficulties providing students with disabilities with a quality education that complies with the needs of the children. Leaders' knowledge about including students with disabilities into general education settings consists of nothing but the legal requirements of the process. Leadership preparation programs' main concern is keeping leaders away from legal sanctions of incompliance with laws that govern special education. The aim of the study is to understand the reasons of this situation which often results in various problems and to propose recommendations to leaders in overcoming their incompetency. Through a literature review, problems are scrutinized, and the roles that leaders should embrace are defined.
