Inclusive Schools

Two features which I believe are of utmost importance for any inclusive school:

1. Resources – the availability of resources is a must. Having resources at school for this purpose gives the school an opportunity to welcome all students, regardless of their disabilities. The special students will feel welcomed and being part of the school.

2. Positive Attitude- a positive attitude coming from the administration, teachers and students is very important as well. Even if a teacher is not fully prepared to deal with special students, a positive attitude on their part will be the motivator to deal with the situation and want to prepare to better serve them.

I support what you are saying, resources are not readily available to assist students and also some teachers are  not professional when dealing with children with special needs.  They may feel that they are trying to help the child, when really they may be using the wrong strategy, as all children lean differently.

True Samuel, positive attitude by teachers, students and all stakeholders can overcome any obstacles to inclusive schools.

Agreed. These are valid points and all parties must work together to encourage inclusiveness.
