Activity 1.2 ( What makes an inclusive school.

My feelings to what was read is that ensuring an all-rounded environment that provides mental, physical and emotional assistance will directly enable growth and development to those children as well as parents in giving them that guidance and support when needed. 

Daniel highlighted that " soft skills" basically talks about teacher attitude as well as administrative support.

An Inclusive school is one that provides parents and children with stability and confidence in its operations. Firstly, there should be proper administration in terms of its program. Administrative support should include allocation of resources to train teachers, facilitating materials for adaptions, allocating time for everyone to feel comforted and included. 

 An inclusive school may also provide a proper physical environment to facilitate children who are physically challenged in terms of wheelchairs, walking with canes etc. Special toilet facilities with hand rails and ramps should also be provided to enable independence and a sense of belonging. 

Most importantly, an inclusive school should provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the environment in terms of teacher attitudes and being capable to restore confidence, create positive self esteem in children. An inclusive school should provide a culture which enables parents and children to feel hopeful and a sense of trust that all their needs would be met at any level. Resources and materials should be at its forefront in meeting these needs.
