Activity 1.7

All schools have different ways and means of inclusion. 

One feature that is observed in my school is, encouraging a special needs child / children to participate in the daily routine, simple task that will help them feel accomplished and valued for their efforts. Praise is always given and thus the child will feel included.

Activity 1.7

Wonderful Miss, this practice is also done at my Centre. Another feature used at the Centre is the making of materials (Sensory Boards, manipulatives)  by teachers to include the special needs child. I also noticed that other children will use these materials or share/play with the special needs child. The children  are also assisting the special needs child by encouraging the child to participate in circle time. The process of acceptance and inclusion is slow but sure.

This is also a practice done within my school. They are encouraged to participate in functions and socialize with other students. They also have aides to help them navigate through the school.

One piece of evidence that is used in the school where I work to help monitor Inclusivity is Observation and Assessment. 

This is an effective way to understand children's learning, development and monitor their progress during the time they spend at school. 

Observation and Assessment, helps educators to understand what children are interested in, how they learn and how they behave, so that  we can develop age appropriate strategies which supports their learning and development  effectively.

Observation and assessment as part of the daily routine helps educators to provide all children with a safe and nurturing learning environment while  maintaining the program effectiveness.

I totally agree with you, it is very important to encourage special needs children to participate in activities. Let  them know they belong and they can feel comfortable and accepted. It also gives the other children an opportunity to appreciate all children regardless of their differences, break down the barrier of discrimination.
