Inclusion. In Chapter 2 of your text, the concept of inclusion is discussed. As Powell and Driver (2013) state, “In an inclusion setting, students with disabilities are instructed alongside peers without disabilities for some or all of the school day” (Section 2.1). Complete the Inclusion Chart (available in your online course) and view the article, “ Regular Educators on the IEP Team .”…
Inclusion is about involvement of all learners- the taking part in all relevant activities rather than excluding them for any reason either directly or indirectly and supports all learners with various strategies. It means recognising, accommodating and meeting the needs of the learner. Learners have a range of individual learning. Making the necessary adjustment for students with some kind of disability can benefit all learners. It is important to treat all learners as individuals. An equalities approach understands our social identity, in terms of gender, race,…
What sort of education is best for a child with special needs? Does inclusion prepare a child who is mentally challenged for the real world or is it unfair? How does inclusion affect the whole classroom?…
Inclusion means giving children with special needs and their parents or caregivers the same opportunities to learn, enjoy and…
A con that has raised much concern about the use of inclusion within the classroom is that teachers are not properly trained nor receive adequate support to teach a student with a disability. With teachers already struggling to provide appropriate education for students without disabilities due to rigorous standards and mounting pressure to perform, with such a large burden it becomes unrealistic for teachers to provide the attention needed and deserved for disabled students within a regular education classroom. With lack of training in specialized education areas, teachers are unable to properly serve disabled children and in turn these students are unable to receive an appropriate education accompanied by specialized attention and care needed in order to suitably benefit educationally.…
The Constitution does not contain a provision explicitly declaring that the powers of the three branches of the federal government be separated. Yet, separation of powers serves various goals. Separation prevents concentration of power and provides each branch with the arson to fight off encroachment by the other two branches. The system of separated powers is designed to maximize freedom.…
Inclusive practice is not only about the schools providing for the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities. Inclusion policies must take account of all pupils in the school.…
“One of the most pressing concerns centers on how teachers can provide concurrent academic and social support in inclusion classrooms” (Berry, 2006, 211). It was as if Ruth Berry was writing directly about my first year as an inclusion teacher. Many times, students with disabilities may complete their work, but rarely participate in classroom discussions, share their answers with the class, or cooperate with group activities. The article has been peer reviewed and therefore considered scholarly. The peer review also supports as a source of authority for this article.…

(Janney & Snell, 2006). In addition, the teachers and service providers must be trained to broaden knowledge and skills to better meet the problems of the inclusion classroom cimate and understand the needs of different learners. They should also be made conversant with different teaching techniques and curriculum strategies that will help improve the learning and participation of all children in inclusive…
Throughout my time as a Special Education major, the words “Least Restrictive Environment” and “Inclusion” have always sparked a controversy in my classes. IDEA mandates that disabled students be educated with their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent possible but where does the line cross between helpful and hurtful? I believe that inclusion is necessary and on paper it looks perfect, but in the real world it does not always play out that way.…
Although this was the beginning of public education for children with disabilities, they were excluded from the rest of the student body and isolated within their own classrooms. Then in 1990, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) changed the face of education for disabled students. IDEA required the schools to involve parents in the educational decisions, students would get evaluations to ensure proper placement, Individual Education Plans (IEP) would be utilized, and the child’s progress would be continually monitored and modification would be made when necessary. Students who don’t fall under the special education requirements but still may have needs, such as ADD or cancer, may use Section 504. Under Section 504 teachers are still required to make accommodations for the students. Finally, inclusive classroom settings have become an important part of the continued success of students with disabilities. In an inclusive setting, students with disabilities are taught with their fellow non-disabled peers. This practice allows for students to socialize with their peers and obtain an equivalent education while preparing for adult life in an inclusive community (Smith, Polloway, Doughty, Patton, Dowdy, 2016). In order for inclusive education to be successful, general education teachers and special education teachers need to work together collaboratively.…
Diversity: Diversity literally means difference. It recognises that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising and valuing differences. Diversity therefore involves visible and non-visible factors, which are personal features such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age.…
Overall, inclusion would not be an advantage to students who are deaf. These students need more care and attention than regular students. Teachers in general education classrooms do not have the time and resources to help out these students with disabilities because they have so many more regular students in the classroom to worry about as well. Communication would be lacking as well. These…
In conclusion, inclusion of children with ASD is highly complex and requires much planning and organisation. Inclusion is a contentious issue, Rix et al (Rix, et al., 2010) highlights that parents of nondisabled children have long been concerned that children with conditions such as autism may be disruptive to their children’s education. There is also the problematic tension between national expectations for developing more inclusive practices whilst simultaneously promoting the raising of standards (Ekins & Grimes , 2009). Mark et al (Marks, et al., 2003) argue that to achieve successful inclusion, teachers must have a good understanding of ASD and be prepared to respond to behaviour characteristics. The efficacy of mainstream inclusion for children with ASD is complex as every child is unique despite strong commonalities (Marshall & Goodall, 2015).…
