K-6th Special Education
The inclusive classroom means that all students have the right to feel safe, supported and included at school and in the general classroom as much as possible
Inclusion is an attitude and approach that seeks to ensure that every person, regardless of ability or background, can meaningfully participate in all aspects of life.
Inclusion means:
