Children, as people, need to feel like they belong and are valued and loved. Parents need to make sure that children are not socially excluded, meaning “restriction of access to opportunities and a limitation of the capabilities required to capitalise on these opportunities” (McDonald). Social inclusion is made of four key domains of opportunities: participate in society through employment and access to services; connect with family, friends, and the local community; deal with personal crises; and be heard (McDonald). Children need to know that what they are saying is important to others, and feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Now, just because children are disabled doesn’t mean they need to take the help to go to college. “The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) conducted a national survey in 1996 with support from the U.S. Department of Education to gather information about students with disabilities and the range of disability support services in community colleges. This report found that only half of the community college students who reported having a disability used disability support services” (Barnett, 1996). This is just a way for disabled children to get
