Recommended: Aim and objectives of inclusive education

During the semester, we read an Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks and met blind people as well as numerous remarkable people diagnosed with autism, Tourette’s Syndrome, and frontal lobe damage. Although some of them have done well, we can probably all agree that they’re exceptions and that much more can be done to fully integrate disabled people into everyday life. All of these disabled people show us that even if one is disabled they can still reach their goal in life. In this paper I will be writing about Classroom education for one with a disability. According to the Constitutional Rights Foundation “Including the Disabled Student” talks about John being different from students in his high school. John has a disability known as Down’s …show more content…

“In New York City, where 15,000 students with severe disabilities are taught in separate schools, 30 are being placed in regular kindergarten and first-grade classrooms in six schools as part of an experimental program”. I disagree because it shouldn’t matter if one is disabled or not because some of us may be able to learn things better than others rather than looking at a disabled person and automatically thinking he’s not capable of learning as much as a “regular” …show more content…

According to PHYS.Org “Its time to end segregation of special education students, professors say” has proven research that all students have higher achievement in fully integrated environments. In the article Sailor said “The EHA was never intended to create an entirely separate system, yet that’s what happened. Special education became a place instead of educational supports”. Disabled students have more of a passing rate in normal schools because they pick up on what the teachers have to say to them in their lessons. Some teachers focus on disabled students so they can have a higher success rate. Individual Educational Plans don’t benefit for specific kids with disabilities. With research it shows that kids with disabilities focus and interact in the classroom rather then being alone with people they cannot associate with. If they are placed individually they will never be able to see how the world is but in their own

  • On Being A Cripple And A Plague Of Tics

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    The two essays “On Being a Cripple” by Nancy Mairs and “A Plague of Tics” by David Sedaris are excellent pieces of work that share many similarities. This paper would reflect on these similarities particularly in terms of the author, message and the targeted audience. On an everyday basis, people view those with disabilities in a different light and make them conscious at every step. This may be done without a conscious realisation but then it is probably human nature to observe and notice things that deviate from the normal in a society. In a way people are conditioned to look negatively at those individuals who are different in the conventional

    As it stands, learning disabled children are placed into class with regular students and from the start things are off kilter. States have regulated inclusion learning in the classrooms but the child with a learning disorder realizes that he is a little different. This frustrates the student with a learning disability, and there will be days when he or she will not want to attend school professing to have a stomach ache or get involved with the wrong crowd just to avoid the frustration of

    .Adams states that from a different article in the chronicle lennard j. Davis noted that” universities don't value disability as a form of diversity,as they do race and gender”These instances of ignoring disabled students needs and discrimination tell the reader that their is negative appeal towards disabled students as campuses are not funding their schools to provide disabled students with accessible locations and instead just tolerate their existence instead of welcoming into the campus,and maybe providing some sort of assistance.Despite all this negativity regarding the treatment of disabled students there are actually some college campuses which welcome and treat them fairly unlike others who tolerate them as if their just their and make them feel unwelcome.for example,the universities of florida,wayne state,humboldt state,and binghamton,university of illinois,the university of california at berkeley provides a great environment for disabled students.and by making basketball teams for wheelchairs or just providing the best care for all disabled students.We have all had to deal with discrimination before whether it was because our sec,race,religion,etc we have all had to deal with this and some cases it became very emotional to deal with just like these current disabled students are dealing with that is why this will appeal to emotional side of the reader..instead of making these the exemptions the exemptions which we make this the standard for all college

  • My Philosophy of Education and Those with Disabilities

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    Students and adults with disabilities can be hidden away in the world and are not always given a chance to spend time with people without disabilities. Disabled students can be in classes where they are with the same students all through the day, and if they are mainstreamed they might have a paraprofessional to help them, which sets them even more apart then the other students. In the lunchroom these disabled students sit at their own table and can be ignored by the other students in the school. When these students grow up they might go and live in a group home where again they are separated from the rest of the world. We need to find a way to stop separating people and start mixing them in with each other.

  • The President Commission on Excellence in Special Education (PCESE)

    3118 Words  | 7 Pages

    Kauffman brings up an excellent point, why isn’t the government comparing children that receive special education to those children who don’t receive special education. Wouldn’t it make sense to compare two things that are similar instead of trying to compare two things that are no way alike? Why don’t we focus on making special education as good as it can be? We should work to make sure students with disabilities learn everything they can at their own speed in special education (Kauffman, 2003 p. 3). Not scraping the whole system. Basically general education students are the wrong comparison to determine if the special education system is working or not. “The PCESE asked the wrong question and suggested dedicating ourselves to closing the wrong gap. Their approach is about as helpful as dedicating ourselves to closing the gap between 5 and 7” (Kauffman, 2003 p. 3).

    Disabled children in the United States have been becoming more active throughout the years. They are showing interest in joining regular learning classrooms, rather than special education classes. Of course, there are many different types of disabilities, but if all disabled children become more active and interact with other children it will benefit the disabled child and his or her peers. It will teach them how to interact and learn from each other. District school boards should mainstream all disabled children into regular classrooms and activities.

    Why don’t handicap students get the respect they deserve? If you’re on crutches and you don’t make it to your next class before the bell rings you can get trampled and hurt even worse. Or you can’t get the right help to be able to learn the material you need. These problems affect education much more than some have come to think. They also affect the way the person feels and how it affects their life. For example it could make the person in the situation feel neglected like the whole world is against them.

  • Should Disabled Children Be Mainstreamed In Traditional Classrooms With Nondisabled Children

    569 Words  | 2 Pages

    Deciding whether disabled children should be mainstreamed in traditional classrooms with nondisabled children or to be segregated in special needs classrooms is an issue ponder about since the Individuals with Disabilities Act has been passed in 1975. Mainstreaming disabled children is seen as a way to enhance disabled children's abilities such as life skills and it helps nondisabled children to learn about diversity. It also usually improves their social skills which helps them later on in life. All things considered, mainstreaming disabled children should be the ideal choice of education for disabled children instead of being in segregated special needs classrooms.

    In the past, disabled students—students with physical and emotional/behavioral problems—were often segregated from the “normal classroom environments.” The segregation of students, either through special schools or home-based tutoring, was justified for various reasons. Separate schools provided specialized services, tailored to meet the educational needs of children with a specific type of handicap. Moreover, this freed the regular public schools of having to provide services and infrastructure needs of the disabled student population (Circle of Inclusion Project, 2003).

    Special classes, separate schools, or removal from the general education class should only happen when your child’s learning or attention issues such as his “disability” under IDEA is so severe that supplementary aids and services can’t provide him or her with an appropriate education as stated by Salvia et al., (2017). Salvia et al. (2017) went on to explain that during assessments, it is vitally important that educators must look at ways to incorporate the child in learning with his or her non-disabled peers as much as

    Students with disabilities are juggling the obstacles of their disabilities while trying to pursue their education. They work three times as hard as the average person does in order to accomplish the same thing. Students without disabilities have a routine for how they do and schedule their homework and their lives. It is not easy, but there is a lot less to juggle in the average student’s life. They have completely different ways to go about pursuing their education without the hoops to jump through, as someone with disabilities does on a day-to-day basis.

  • Inclusion

    1185 Words  | 3 Pages

    My oppositions leads a strong argument; every child should be able to experience a regular classroom in order to mature and socialize with other children in normal situations (Stussman 18). This is true; children need to be around other children in order to learn how to interact. In stating that, inclusion is one way to let children “mingle” and socially grow into adults who can communicate with the rest of the world. In March of 1997, “The Educational Digest” composed an article on Barak Stussman. She has mild cerebral palsy. She shared with the readers her story of how inclusion worked in her life. Barak retold how she felt deep sadness when she realized she was not “regular”. This made her hate going to school (Stussman 19). Two important statements were made by Barak: “If children do not perceive barriers, they will amaze you with what they are capable of doing,” and “I believe public school systems should be a microcosm of the ‘real world’” (Stussman 20). My oppositions feels inclusion is beneficial to children because they believe in the concept, “what you really need to make it in this world is good people skills and common sense; not academic achievement.”

  • Physical Disabilities In America

    By furthering education, people with physical disabilities will have more of a chance to pursue a career. It is estimated that 60% of disabled young adults make it to college after high school, yet nearly two thirds are unable to complete their degrees within six years. This is a significant problem we must alleviate because education is the foundation of one’s future. (S.e) In special education, physical disabilities are physical limitations or health problems that interfere with school attendance or learning to such an extent that special services, training, equipment, materials, or facilities are required. As said in an article, Many students with even severe physical disabilities can attend regular schools and classes, given improved accessibility of school buildings, the use of technologies of treatment and adaptive devices, and improved attitudes of acceptance of disabilities in the school. Some students need highly specialized medical care and are thought to need education in the hospital when they are being treated or in a special class or school. A controversial issue is whether to include disabled students in regular schools and classes. It is an issue because students who are near to death or have severe physical or cognitive disabilities can tend to be unresponsive to educational instructions. Thus, physically disabled students

  • Teaching Students with Disabilities

    984 Words  | 2 Pages

    Education is a profession which requires a teacher to be able to communicate with a multitude of students on a variety of levels. There is not a class, or student for that matter, that is identical. Therefore, teachers must be able to identify and help educate students from all different types of backgrounds and at different levels. Teaching a singular subject presents difficulties, but teaching students with disabilities should not be one. There are three main teaching areas that need to be focused on when teaching a student with a learning disability. Teachers need to focus on the strategies that will assist students with reading comprehension skills, writing skills, and maintaining appropriate behaviors in a classroom setting.
