Welcome to Our Blog!!!!

We are currently juniors and seniors at Elizabethtown College. We are majoring in Elementary Education with a concentration in Special Education. This blog focuses on the topic of inclusion in a school environment. Inclusion means that all students will be served in a regular classroom/program full time, regardless of the severity of their disability/special needs. In this blog we will discuss the pros and cons of inclusion through videos, articles, interviews, and polls. We look forward to hearing the opinions of our members and sharing our personal thoughts on inclusion.

Interview Two: (Reading Specialist)

Interview: Reading specialist at a local elementary school

Question: What was your general view of inclusion? Do you feel inclusion benefits all children?

Response:
I believe inclusion for the most part is a good thing. All children should be given the opportunity to learn with each other. Physical disabilities should not be an excuse for a student to not be included in the general education setting. Certain cognitive disabilities, when severe enough, may affect including that child if it is not their least restrictive environment.
