In this essay, I am going to address why the inclusion of children with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties (BESD) into mainstream education is so important. I will also outline what provisions and procedures I believe schools should have in place to ensure inclusion is seen as a set of practices rather than a completely unattainable ideal. In 2013 ‘53.0% of pupils with statements of SEN were attending mainstream schools (nursery, primary, secondary, academies, city technology colleges)

Inclusion in education is an approach to educating students with special educational needs; under this model students with special needs spend most or all of their time with non-disabled students. Evidence from the last decade reveals that segregation of special needs students, as opposed to spending time with non-disabled students, is actually damaging to them both academically and socially. Segregating students placed in the special education category is a trend that has been vastly common in public

Allen and Cowdery (2012) state ‘Inclusion is not a set of strategies or a placement issue. Inclusion is about belonging to a community – a group of friends, a school community, or a neighborhood’ (Pg.5). Inclusion of children with disabilities in 'normal' classrooms, happens to be a widely debated topic; whilst there are valid arguments on both sides and benefits for both inclusion and segregation, inclusion has become law (Holdheide & Reschly, 2008). Inclusion requires a great deal of work in and

Inclusion disagree the concept of special school or classrooms to separate students with disabilities from students without disabilities. In today’s date, 148 countries including the European Union have ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with disabilities (UNCRPD) and 158 have adopted the Convention.

employed to education these children at their own pace. There was seen to be many benefits to having segregated schools both for economic reasons but it was believed that it would have a positive effect on both disabled and non-disabled students. One of the economic advantages is that specialist equipment can be brought into one ‘special school’ and specialist teachers like speech therapists and physiotherapists can be used under one roof instead of little equipment in lots of mainstream

The terms learning and behavioral difficulties, special educational needs, and students with disabilities are often used synonymously when referring to students affected by inclusion (Florian
Abstract Inclusion is examined through an article detailing the life a young girl name Ro Vargo. Risk and resilience are examined and examples from Ro’s life are discussed. The sociocultural theory is then fully explained followed by a discussion of elements such as developmental pathways and developmental outcomes such as optimal versus adequate adaptation. Examples from Ro’s life illustrate these concepts. Next, five scholarly research studies are examined and the pros and cons of inclusion are
