Inclusion

What is inclusion?
Addition Things I Have Learned About Inclusion:
- Helps the students with their social skills and to develop friendships with other students in the class.
- Helps the students to develop individual goals and strengths.
- Gets the parents involved in the students' education.
- Helps the school and the community to appreciate diversity more.

The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) does not use the word "inclusion". IDEA states that children with disabilities must be educated in a least restrictive environment that meets their needs. This means that the children with disabilities should be placed in a regular classroom when it is possible.
