Education Issues Series Special Education Inclusion Educators' Bulletin Board IDEAS Resource pages on educational issues Professional support ... ONLINE SERVICES This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: Do we value all children equally? Is anyone more or less valuable? What do we mean by "inclusion?" Are there some children for whom "inclusion" is inappropriate? There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.

Inclusion considers that all students are full members of the school community and are entitled to the opportunities and responsibilities that are available to all students in the school. In an inclusive school setting, students with disabilities are provided specially designed instruction in their least restrictive environment (LRE). LRE varies according to the individual needs and goals of each student. In order to determine the LRE, federal laws require that the individualized educational program (IEP) committee first develop the individual goals for the student, then determine how and where the student's goals can be met.

The previous year, 1990, Sarah was enrolled in a class for developmentally handicapped children from Granville and Heath.

Teacher's Lounge Curriculum Article C U R R I C U L U M A R T I C L E Inclusion: Has It Gone Too Far? Inclusion of all children with disabilities in regular classrooms seems to be the law of the land. But is it the right thing for all kids? And how are teachers handling it? Inclusion the idea that all children, including those with disabilities, should and can learn in a regular classroom has taken firm root in many school systems, although it is not specifically required by law. To oppose inclusion would seem to advocate exclusion. Yet, some observers maintain that full inclusion isn't always the best way to meet student needs. Critics of full inclusion ask whether even students with the most severe disabilities benefit from placement in regular classrooms. Further, some outgrowths of inclusion involve rethinking the structure of the regular classroom. Inclusive classes may require more than one teacher. And teachers and students may need specific technology to help students with disabilities perform better.

Technology for Inclusion H OW CAN WE USE TECHNOLOGY to improve the quality of life of individuals with special needs? How can we use technology not for the sake of technology itself but for what it can help learners do? Educators have been asking these questions for many years. Today the potential of technology to provide an accessible and motivating learning environment is greater than ever. This article examines how technology can be used to enable the inclusion of students with special needs in an inclusive school system. Inclusive Schooling In our days, one of the major theoretical movements for the education of students with special needs is inclusion. An inclusive school is "structured to serve a wide range of students; the environment is flexible and organized to meet he unique needs of all students. In an inclusive school, everyone belongs, is accepted, supports and is supported while having individual educational needs met". ( Technology should adapt to these changes and facilitate inclusive practices. But to enable technology for inclusion we should ensure both access and engagement.
