Stephanie, points 1, 2 and 4 are very appealing because they do not have cost implications hence every school/teacher can implement them. As for development of appropriate materials, this is where every teacher's creativity and improvisation skills comes into play. Enables one to use locally available materials to minimize cost of production.

Hi Stephanie, 

I agree with the list that you shared. All students should be welcomed, and this requires that the school provides resources and technology to assist teachers to serve all students as best as they can. Positive attitude is important as well.
