Non-Inclusion Classroom

Inclusion means an all-embracing societal ideology. Regarding individuals with special education and disabilities, inclusion secures opportunities for students with disabilities to learn alongside their non-disabled peers in classrooms. Inclusion is also an educational practice of educating children who have disabilities in classrooms with other children who have no disabilities. The best practice for special education students in a classroom starts with the teacher. “The first step for the beginning teacher is to understand what “special needs” means and who exactly are the children with special educational requirements” (Weissman & Hendrick, 2014, p. 121).

A world that is predominantly made up of others that do not have the same needs as they do. Another example of how a child with special needs would benefit from inclusion is that it helps them benefit socially. Special needs children can take part in regular classes and activities with children their age without special needs and this helps children with special needs to develop better social skills as they interact with other classmates. “Providing access to a wide range of learning opportunities, activities, settings, and environments is a defining feature of high quality early childhood inclusion” (NAEYC, 2009, p.
