1.2 Inclusive Schools

Inclusive schools as the name suggests include everyone, all children regardless of their abilities or disabilities. One factor of an inclusive school is the attitude of staff (teachers, administrators) toward children with disabilities. How accepting they are of the differences, how tolerant they are of each child's shortcomings, how willing they are to treat with and go the extra distance, and how do they create an ethos of acceptance among the children who do not have disabilities.

Another factor that impacts inclusion is allocation of resources. While all children with disabilities may not require personalized accommodation, personnel and materials, some do. For example infrastructure, braille, psychologists or some type of assistive technology. In my case while the government advocates for inclusion, there is a lack of financial resources which means that in many cases children with disabilities either attend private schools, if their parents can afford it, or are mainstreamed into primary school with minimal assistance or are forced to stay at home.

At ECCE Centres it depends on the severity of the child's disability whether he/she can be accepted.
