Inclusion

What do you think could happen if you ignored IDEA as a future teacher? If I ignored IDEA as a future teacher, parents of the student with disabilities may request a due process hearing or file a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights. Also, if I do not comply with IDEA act, I could suffer severe consequences, and penalization in court. What are the benefits and limitations of IDEA? The benefits of IDEA are to warrants all states and public agencies to keep early intervention, special…

From a young age, we’re taught to accept and respect one another. What I’ve learned in my life so far is that that is not always the case. I was born with an orthopedic disability, which made walking, a basic function for many, extremely painful and difficult for me. I have faced bullies, unwilling doctors, and the dark places of the mind. I have also never felt more inspired to help others and change how other’s see people with disabilities. Growing up with a disability is one of the most…

In the classroom, the teacher is faced with many different children. A broad range of personalities, along with different ways children learn. Learning to approach a child in a way that is tailored to them so that they learn what they are being taught is a very important thing in an inclusive classroom. Examination by the teacher could result in how general curriculum can be adapted to a specific child to make a successful learning environment. According to the text book Creating Inclusive…

Interesting enough, curiosity left me wondering about people who attends school with a disability: therefore, I thought Jackson State University of Disability Services would expand knowledge of those suffering with a disability. The Department of Disability Services assist those who have a disability. According to, American Disability Act (ADA), benefit students with physical, psychological, intellectual, attention deficit disorder, visual impairments, traumatic, hearing impairments, learning…

The issue of inclusion for students with special needs has been a continuing debate with advocates for it, against it, and the rest somewhere in between. No two special needs students ' are alike, which adds to the difficulty of structuring a successful program. The program requires the special needs teachers and general education teachers to restructure their classroom to provide accommodations among the teachers, students, parents, and the learning institution. The term inclusion is an anomaly…

that students with special needs were not able to be taught. Historically, the education of students with disabilities has progressed from neglect, to institutions, to pullout programs and mainstreaming and is continuing in the direction of full inclusion for all students with disabilities (Bradely, Sears & Switlick, 1997). The shift in educating students with disabilities is a direct result of various court cases and legislative decisions such as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act…

Inclusion Plan-of-Action Most people think of inclusion as something only for the special education students, but I believe that every student in the general education classroom should have access to inclusion. The textbook Those Who Can, Teach, defines it as, “… the commitment to educate each child, to the maximum extent appropriate, in the regular school and classroom” (Ryan & Cooper, 2013, p. 73). This is a good definition but I believe that inclusion is more than just educating a…

1. Inclusion: If I’m being honest I’m not sure where I fall in terms of inclusion. I don’t particularly feel a need or desire to be noticed by other people. In fact, I have gone out of my way to divert attention from myself in social settings, potentially making me an under-social person. I wouldn’t say I’m under-social to an extreme degree, as I still make an effort to socialize with different types of people. However, socializing isn’t always my top priority. So I suppose that I’m not…

“Inclusion: A service, not a place” was one of the most heartwarming videos on education that I have ever seen. I found myself smiling ear to ear at the nurturing acceptation of diversity throughout this film. At the beginning of the video, it states how in previous years there was two types of education, one for classes who are deemed “normal” and one for children with special needs. If it is acceptable for adults to separate children based on developmental and learning aspects, then how can we…
