The ideas and practice of educational inclusion has been around for decades, but it has not always been done correctly, or been supported by principals, teachers, parents or students. SPIN is a strong supporter of inclusion, both at school and in the community, and we recognize that it may not work for every student at every level, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t at least try to provide to include students with disabilities with their non-disabled peers. There are so many benefits, to all students, when kids are included in general education classrooms, sports, clubs, field trips, school dances, after school and more. Still on the fence about including your child at school? Check out the infographics and workshops below to learn more about inclusion and how to talk to your IEP team about adding inclusive practices to your child’s program.
