Inclusion

Although, I do agree that there are merits to full inclusion, I do not believe that it is the right choice for every child with a disability. There cannot be one rule that applies to all students with disabilities, which range from severely mentally handicapped to mild cases of ADHD. I agree with Kauffman, McGee and Brigham’s assertion (2008) that the goals of full inclusion are more for the perception of normalization with a disregard of expected proficiency. Placing students who cannot…

Diversity means acceptance and respect. Understanding that everyone is different; this can include race, ethnicity, physical abilities, age. Equality means everyone is to be treated equally regardless of any differences. Inclusion means no one should be isolated due to their differences. Discrimination means to be treated different because of your differences. 1.2 The potential effects of discrimination are being excluded, not asked or valued for yourself or your points of view, your personal…

“Disabled people are absent in culture, when they are present they are represented in wholly stereotypical ways.” – Barnes and Mercer (2003) The above picture is taken at the entrance of a popular food court in Auckland City. This is popular amongst everyday Aucklander’s as well as tourists. There is no ramp nearby or an entrance that allows access for a wheelchair. However, despite being a popular spot it is fairly impossible for a person with a wheelchair to get inside. As Erving Goffman…

is significant because it illustrates the idea that in order to have positive change, we must escape barriers of inclusion and exclusion. Considering this scenario on a larger scope, this world of corporations and violence is not too far off of our own. Ultimately, through the necessity to break free from barriers and the value of Lauren’s hyperempthaty, Butler’s desire for inclusion is evident. Similarly, in Langston’s Hughes’ “On the Road”, social exclusion illustrates the author’s…

Inclusion in Elementary School Settings Educating disabled students in inclusive classrooms has been one of the many accommodations made for disabled students. Although inclusion seems to many that it will decrease bullying later in life, people are being mislead. Laws are mandating that school districts must provide the least secluded environment as possible. This seems to contrast the need to keep all students and staff safe, having as many good relationships as possible, and decreasing the…

PowerPoint presentation. I learned how to apply design, share, and make my PowerPoint presentation accessible to individuals with disabilities. 2. What is your understanding of universal design, accessibility, and inclusion? My understanding of Universal design, accessibility, and inclusion is that it is built to apply to programs, documents, and products to assure that all people are able to have access. The universal design does not only apply to individuals with disabilities but all…

Reynolds (1989) claim that inclusion is the increasing responsibility for educating groups previously excluded from mainstream society contrasts significantly with more recent definitions; the SEN Code of Practice (2014) defines inclusion as the entitlement of all children and young people to an education that enables them to make progress so that they can achieve their best. This highlights the ways in which society has developed a greater understanding of individual learner needs – whether…

with inclusion and mainstreaming when it comes to people with disabilities. What I thought would be the most controversial topic is students with disabilities in the school district; and how well they are integrated in the school. Government Involvement/Business Policies: Before getting into the problem we have to know the meaning of mainstreaming and inclusion. Some say that they can be used interchangeable, but the Public Broadcasting Service otherwise known as PBS says that inclusion is…

her room (room 4) at 12:15 p.m., during her lunch. The interview was interesting and informative. We spent 45 minutes in the classroom and 15 minutes walking around campus. The purpose of the interview was to find information about the practice of inclusion in the classroom, how does common core standards impact teaching, and about the most important issues teachers are facing today. The first question I asked her was regarding her background and her education. She came from Mexico when she was…
