At the start of every school year, most everyone who blogs about kids with special needs blogs about inclusion.
I have been critical in the past at times of how inclusion is handled in the schools here. After reflection and thought, also having known almost the entire cohort of parents and kids with special needs since pre K. I learned how tough it really must be.
The parents feelings on this issue and what schools are doing are mixed at best.
Here is a site of some examples http://tinyurl.com/44bqea6 Thank you Teri Mauro for sharing this.
All kids need a circle of friends, and relationships this unlocks potential to help them reach their goals.
The case manager at our school manager has started a "first friends" club this year to help regular students and those with special needs get together. She credited it to my having brought that to her.
I thank her for crediting this to me. BUT she has all my thanks for going for it.
