Special Education Inclusion
A fundamental question often asked by general educators is "Why is inclusion important in education?" The integration of special education students into general classrooms has been mandated for many years by the Department of Education. Beyond that, however, is the simple idea that inclusive classrooms, focused on a variety of experiences, perspectives, and abilities, are an impactful learning ecosystem.
Our special education inclusion resources feature various techniques, tips, and suggestions for promoting special education inclusion in integrated general education classrooms, such as using stories about children with disabilities to teach others, information on autistic and ADD/ADHD populations, and proactive tips and effective techniques in your classroom.
