Alternative delivery systems are management systems used in Inclusion classrooms that provide support for students and maximize learning while being presented with the core curriculum. It is an approach that uses success-oriented presentations and the elements of collaboration and school based coordination in its implementation.  The goal of alternative delivery systems is to develop many creative ways of working together for the benefit of all students.
