    With this in mind it is important educators foster strategies to promote inclusion. Huang & Diamond (2009) note that lack of support and services for children with disabilities increases the chances of exclusion for these children, although inclusion is the right thing to do. Without sufficient support and training educators were more reluctant to include children with disabilities (Huang & Diamond, 2009). Rietveld (2010) also considered inclusion as the right thing to do, within this article running record observations took place which came to the conclusion of although children with disabilities were welcome within the centre, they were getting treated differently from other…

    There have been a few systematic reviews of the effect of early administration of PN on growth outcomes. Moyses et al showed that early PN reduced the time to regain birthweight by (a mean) 2.2 days [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1 to 3.2 days] in RCTs and 3.2 days (95% CI 2.0 to 4.4 days) in observational studies.

Traditionally, the biggest challenge for students with disabilities was to meet their needs in the areas of social, behavioral, cognitive, perceptive and motor skills (Adebisi et al. 14). A learning disability is defined by the Schwab Foundation as a person who is diagnosed by a professional with a difficulty as a result of a CNS dysfunction in the areas or reading, writing, math, science, reasoning speaking, or listening. In order to meet the diverse needs of these students, they were traditionally removed from the mainstream classroom and placed in a separate classroom to learn.

    Special education is in every school system to help students with disabilities have success in life. According to Artiles and colleagues research, children back in the 1800s were excluded from educational opportunities (Artiles, Harris-Murri, and Rostenberg, 2006, p. 260). Children with disabilities were often segregated into either a separate classroom or separate schools with curriculum that didn’t fit their needs (Artiles, 2006, p. 260). Children were held to low standards, but fortunately that is not the way we see special education today.
