Everyone who works with children knows that each child is individual and unique and while this sound really obvious it can cause a lot of tensions among those who work with children in education and care.
To outline:
Social model of disability: this model implies that all individuals have needs but also have some strengths, skills and preferences.
This approach means it will provide the children with the same environments as others as a starting point. It considers that the curriculum, the attitudes toward the disabilities and the resources available are the problem not the child.
This basically means that a disabled child that would have put into a special school now has the opportunity to go to mainstream schools and stay with friends.
