Ro Vargo: Inclusion For Students With Disabilities

Including Samuel, a documentary about the complexities of inclusion. Like so many other issues in our lives, the solutions are far from clear. The speaker, Habib, tells the story of his son, Samuel, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just one years old; along with others that have a disabilities and how their lives have been affected by inclusion. Principals and teachers spoke about how inclusion has made an impact on the environment at their schools. Including Samuel is about inclusion of all different types of people.

Making content accessible for all students can be a difficult task. Classrooms are filled with diverse learners from all different backgrounds with different strengths, needs, home languages and learning styles. This is particularly true in a moderate to severe special education classrooms where students have varying levels of academic, developmental, communication and social abilities. Over the course of my teaching career and my time at Brandman I have learned valuable ways of engaging and supporting all students’ in the classroom.

Being taught the proper way to speak about disabilities really helps, I am now trying to speak in “ Person first” so as not to discriminate or place a stigma upon a person’s shoulders. When I eventually become a teacher all the new information I learned about diversity and disabilities in SED 125 such as knowing that not all children learn the same way or that some children may have a bigger struggle than others, and how to build healthy positive relationships with my future student. I will try to apply all the new information to my classroom

Bryant thinks inclusion is a wonderful idea for both students and teachers. Students with disabilities have the opportunity to learn from their non-disable peers. They learn proper social skills such as how to conduct themselves in the classroom environment. Furthermore, regular education students learn to work with and understand that students with disabilities are people too.

Introduction This presentation on inclusive practises is intended to assist educators to meet the needs of a diverse population of children with varying cognitive abilities; developmental and learning disabilities; sensory impairments; and different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Below are the key learning needs identified of the chosen case study Hayley, a year 11 student with Down syndrome. I have also mentioned how to cater for the needs of all students in the classroom. The difference between differentiation and reasonable adjustments is also explained. Ways to differentiate pedagogy to meet individual needs.

The change from an institutional setting to a more community based setting shows a change in the attitude and believe about individuals with disabilities. Since their emancipation from institutions more than 40 years ago, the rights of persons with intellectual disabilities to participate in society have been increased with opportunities for full inclusion. The concept of inclusion encompasses both acceptance and respect. Children and adults are at risk of experiencing social exclusion and discrimination associated with their disability. While physical inclusion through accessibility change occurs, there is a lack of “feeling” a part of the community, which has some individuals with disabilities calling to action the need for social emotional inclusion.

We all need somebody who believes in us. Mrs. Oaster’s classroom also enforced the message of including special needs people. We all are unique and work best in individual ways, whether that is in Mrs. Oaster’s room or in a more traditional classroom. Having a disability is not a bad thing. It makes those who have them stronger.

They demonstrate literature may hold one of the keys to helping children build their language and communication skills as well as help the child with autism and those without it to develop social connections with each other. When childhood disorders are frequently discussed whether on media or public, many authors have responded with stories told through the perspective of characters who are differently able and use it as teaching materials to public about all the children should be accepted and equal, no matter who you are. From one of the references uses in the content, Sharon Andrew, an author who says that, “inclusion literature, a powerful tool for helping students without disabilities develop an awareness of and tolerance for those with disabilities” (Miller 17). These perspectives broaden horizons for all readers and help create more environments and health realted place where all children are accepted. Also, by using inclusion literature it can help young people develop awareness and empathy by providing a

Informative Speech Preparation Outline I. INTRODUCTION A. Gain the audience’s attention: Koch states in the article Special Education in 2000 that 1.7 million disabled children were not able to attend public schools until IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, was implemented (Koch, 2000). Transition to Thesis: A high school diploma is necessary in todays life, but many students with special needs are still facing challenges to receive theirs. B. Thesis: The environment where a student is taught has a major impact on their general education, their future educational experiences, and the likelihood of graduating and continuing their education. C. Credibility Statement: After extensive research on special education and background knowledge from a Children with Exceptionalities class, I have gained the knowledge and information to inform you of the impacts of teaching special education inside of the general education classroom.

The inclusive practice enables all of the students (with or without disabilities) to indulge in same class and learn together in the same class and context. Inclusive practices may refer to the idea of amalgamation of individuals with disabilities with the individuals without disabilities and having no pity for them or any other feeling that make them feels their disability. This is quite an ethical, social and educational question whether it should be done and if yes then how and why it is to be carried out (Lindon,

However, every student has the right to be included in an everyday classroom with non-special needs students. The following paper will present and explain inclusion’s purpose, its benefits for both special and non-special needs students, as well as its drawbacks. Literature Review This thesis paper will be carried out with the help of online research, and investigations as well as books. The Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) defines inclusion as “a term which expresses commitment to educate each child, to the maximum extent appropriate, in the school and classroom he or she would otherwise attend.” Develop more this point

Fostering a tolerant, inclusive and friendly environment for special needs children by creating activities which will bring them closer to the community they live in. The activities to which they will participate outside school such as visits at museums or other activities will make children visible in the community and contribute to a better understanding in society of disability and the role of community in integrating them in their daily life.

Special education is a discipline marked by a lot of controversy and which elicits a heated debate among education administrators, parents, and teachers. Full inclusion, which is the belief that disabled students should be incorporated into regular classrooms, regardless of whether they meet conventional curricular standards or not, is the major point of controversy. Full inclusion embraces the idea that disabled students should undertake regular education and only be excluded in a class when important services cannot be offered to them (Nelson, Palonsky, & McCarthy, 2010). This paper seeks to delve into the arguments surrounding full inclusion and establish their validity. It will achieve this by highlighting the arguments for and against

According to UNESCO, inclusive education is a process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of all children by increasing participation in learning and reducing exclusion within and from education (Nguyet and Ha 2010). Inclusive education is a process of increasing the presence, participation and achievement of all learners (Booth and Ainscow 2002). The process involves mainstreaming children with special educational needs into regular classroom settings, allowing them to learn side by side with their peers without disabilities. Inclusive education implies that children with special educational needs have to attend mainstream schools they would have attended if they did not have a disability. Mainstreaming children with special needs education has a positive impact on both social and academic learning for children with and without special needs (Farrell 2000).

Some of these disabilities are invisible, while others are very noticeable. In either situation, said person with a disability should have a choice on the accommodations they receive and how they are treated or ‘handled.’ Different methods of communication may be needed; however, simply including the individual and asking if they’re interested in participating creates a more positive environment. Individuals with disabilities have worked just as hard, if not more, to get to the place they hold in school, work, or at a university. The most detrimental thing to anybody’s state of mind is to not be taken seriously or to be put at a lower priority because of a disability.
