The best inclusion is to treat each person as an individual and think about their needs, as opposed to a particular ideology or philosophy. Both my kids are segregated (one is ID and the other is not) in private schools funded by the government for specific learning needs. They have both done wonderfully this year. True inclusion is understanding each individual is unique and tailoring their education to their uniqueness and needs. I wish Porter understood this. Congratulations on finding a great placement for Conor.

We're now finishing Gr 7 and the last 4 yrs in "self-contained" and the fight we had last year when they said "but he's not ID so he has to go to a high behavioural autism room OR back to a regular class room" to keep him in with his friends in the Dev room as they moved to JrHigh (I won)... I don't regret one minute of his being in a room where he has thrived, with people who've pushed him, he's been out in regular classes for gym and music. He's gone to the dances with all the rest and had a BLAST this past year.<br /><br />What shocks me more is those parents who's children cannot function in a regular room but are so damned determined to keep them there. The Autism is wonderful crowd refuse to understand, that by allowing the high behaviour that goes on in these rooms, the sympathy for their cause disappears quickly. Normal parents of normal children, in a normal classroom where there is meltdowns and destruction of property and children are told to run and get out of the way... There is no sympathy or acceptance. Yet, when they meet up with other children that have been in appropriate settings, integrated appropriately and had huge success instead of huge failure... there is acceptance.<br /><br />We too get "I know R from school" regularly in the mall from the "normal" children over the years. Success, integration and acceptance.<br /><br />farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
