Inclusiveology (n):the study of inclusion
If your child learns differently or has a disability, how does their classroom learning look?
-
Are they given options when working with materials?
-
Do they have choices of how to access reading even if they are not yet reading at grade level?
-
Do they have a choice of where to sit in order to focus and learning their best?
-
Does specially designed instruction target missing skills so thy continue to grow as learners?
How can inclusion for children with disabilities and learning differences be defined?
-
a feeling of true membership
-
that all are welcomed
-
that every child feels like they are part of the group
-
that someone gets what they need to learn and belong
-
that every child has a voice
... unconditional acceptance and including every child in learning
