The speaker, Habib, tells the story of his son, Samuel, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just one years old; along with others that have a disabilities and how their lives have been affected by inclusion. Principals and teachers spoke about how inclusion has made an impact on the environment at their schools. Including Samuel is about inclusion of all different types of people.

This instills that any child with disabilities is to receive an education in a least restricted environment. The IDEA ensures inclusion of the special education students, that they will be included in the regular education classroom as much as each
Some of the participants in this film experienced the same frustration, anxiety, pain and tension that children with special needs do on a daily basis. The F.A.T. City workshop and video helped me as an early childhood education teacher. This film helped me understand children with learning disabilities and what they
I joined Best Buddies to help end the oppression of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Jason, a student enrolled in Best Buddies, had few words to say and was hesitant to participating in an arts and craft activity. I persistently tried to break him out of his shell. When I discovered that he loved to play basketball, I facilitated a game between other volunteers and students. By the end of the day, Jason’s personality broke through.
I am undertaking my early inclusion practicum with Coburg Special Development School for a period of 10 days.

3.3 Explain ways in which children with additional needs can participate fully in play and learning activities Children who have additional needs or disabilities may fully participate in play and learning activities. This is done by ensuring they have an adapted environment and well thought activity which means they can participate just as well as others. To plan an activity which ensures they can participate you need to have a good understand of what the child with additional needs or a disability is able to do and carry out. 4.1 Explain how to plan a play based approach to learning for early years children You can plan for a play based approach to learning by looking at the various children and where they are at with their development.
Lindsay Vander Wile’s article The Pros and Cons of Inclusion for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: What Constitutes the Least Restrictive Environment?, she talks about the benefits of including kids with Autism in regular classrooms. She notes, “Research has demonstrated that inclusion is often effective for intervention implementation because children with disabilities were given the opportunity to practice functional skills, such as following daily routines and appropriately interacting with peers, numerous times a day in authentic settings.” (Vander Wile). This quote shows it’s beneficial kids with Autism to be in a normal classroom because, it puts them in authentic settings that they will experience later in life whether at school,
As Michael Pritchard said, “One of the great things any community can do is not teach tolerance, but live tolerance, not talk respect but teach inclusivity.” One of the most pressing Global issues today is discrimination and the lack of services available to children born with disabilities. According to the World Report on Disability roughly one billion people in the world have some sort of a disability which corresponds to about 15% of the world’s population. Putting into perspective, 1 in every 10 children have a disability. Rates will continue to rise with time and with population growth, unfortunately the need for extra help for those with disabilities will not.
The failure to implement full inclusion appropriately has numerous detrimental effects on the parties involved. One disadvantage for full inclusion is that the socialization part precedes the academic component, notwithstanding the fact that it should not be the primary goal of education. Inclusion movements aim to make disabled students look normal, overlooking the issue of whether they are undertaking educational programs or not. This can have a negative effect on the academic progress of students with disabilities because important skills are not taught for the sake of the learner making physical presence in a full inclusion classroom. Fox (2013) claims that there is a need for disabled students to reap maximum benefits from this integration.
My application would be incomplete if I did not share why giving to your community, leading by example, and the importance of accountability are so important to me. Giving back to your community is important to me because one of the best things a citizen and do is to give back to their community. And when you help your community, they will help you in your time of need. I give back to my community in the form of serving at a local food pantry since the people there would go hungry if I did not help them which gives me a since of pride to be able to help someone and know that it means the world to them to just eat.
Social class is a hierarchy based on wealth, living standards, education level and occupation which impact people’s lives for better or worse. In this essay, I have chosen to explore the idea of how social classes affect the way we treat people. The four texts To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen all capture the idea in which social class can affect our lives. In each text, we see how social classes divide people from another, that most characters are aware of where they stand in their society because of social status, and how relationships across different social classes can be formed.
Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
According to UNESCO, inclusive education is a process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of all children by increasing participation in learning and reducing exclusion within and from education (Nguyet and Ha 2010). Inclusive education is a process of increasing the presence, participation and achievement of all learners (Booth and Ainscow 2002). The process involves mainstreaming children with special educational needs into regular classroom settings, allowing them to learn side by side with their peers without disabilities. Inclusive education implies that children with special educational needs have to attend mainstream schools they would have attended if they did not have a disability. Mainstreaming children with special needs education has a positive impact on both social and academic learning for children with and without special needs (Farrell 2000).
A community is much more than simply an area where one lives. A community is a place in which one feels a sense of belonging and camaraderie. I feel this belonging in the LGBTQIA community. I personally identify as asexual, and this is something that has been somewhat of a struggle in my life so far. Many people I know, including friends and family, have told me that I am just not old enough to take up a real interest in another person.
