Inclusive Education
• Including students with disabilities in regular classrooms is valuable for everyone concerned. The students with disabilities themselves tend to experience a richer educational environment, both socially and academically. • Classmates of students with disabilities also experience a richer educational environment. They potentially meet a wider range of students and also see a wider range of educational purposes in operation in the classroom. • Teachers also experience benefits from including students with disabilities in regular classrooms. The most notable overall benefit is an increased focus on diversity among students. • The presence of students with disabilities reminds everyone, students as well as teachers, that everyone is truly unique, whether or not they are officially designated as having a disability. • Many teaching strategies help students with disabilities precisely because they are individualized and differentiate among students' needs more than conventional whole-group teaching practices. This differentiation turns out to benefit all students, regardless of their levels of skill or readiness. • Everyone, not just students with disabilities, benefits from: - Careful planning of objectives - Attention to individual differences among students - Establishment of a positive social atmosphere in the classroom
