Inclusion and Inclusion Practices
Inclusive education offers something for all. Kids with
disabilities are able to be with their peers, friendships can develop that carry
over to the neighborhood. In some cases, for those with severe
disabilities, the inclusion practice is much harder. Perhaps with a child
who has more challenges, the best initial inclusive setting may involve just a
lunch time activity. Segregating our children with disabilities has taken
them out of the mainstream and actually made people stare at them more.
They aren't kids who are seen playing everyday in the yards with
classmates. Often classmates are miles away, in another city. The
only socialization that can take place is over the phone or if someone can drive
you over to visit. By keeping our kids in their neighborhood school, including
them into the school, they tend to blend more easily and are more easily
accepted. Here are several sites that offer inclusive practices and
insights.
