Inhaltsangabe

A fascinating read for teacher and parent alike! Katie Blenk, founder and head of Boston s Kids are People School, and Doris Fine, a physical therapist, tell the reader how to conduct a truly inclusive school program that educates a diverse student body together, regardless of ethnic or racial background, economic level, or physical or cognitive ability. They indicate what they mean by *true* inclusion, what inclusion is not, and who should not be conducting an inclusive program. They tell of the excitement of seeing these students with special needs learn and manage successfully--far beyond what experts had predicted for them--within classes of diverse typical students. The children talk with enjoyment about each other and the school; teachers talk of the challenge and their pleasures; parents of typical and special needs children talk of the positive experience for themselves and their children of being involved in this inclusive school program. The book includes many suggestions for dealing with the challenges posed by inclusion. The authors tell how they include children with mild and serious special needs, their programming concerns and how they ensure full participation by all students. There has been much rhetoric about the challenge but little about how to practically make it happen. These authors provide a guide!
