Inclusion+of+Students+with+Disabilities

Jillian Feeney, Hadley Colman, Madison Dolecki, Emily Atwood 1.) We would have the students sit at tables for group work to ensure that the student in the wheel chair is included. And also, we would consider the student in the wheel chair when we are making lesson plans in order to include her as much as possible. We would limit moving around and physical activity as much as possible. By doing this, the child will feel more included and less individualized because the nurse would not have to give such specific attention. Instead of physical activity, we would play board games for a fun activity or other activities that do not include moving around.

2.) In order to make the child with Down Syndrome is included and accepted by peers, we would hold a discussion with the students about differences among people, including disabilities. We would also have the same lesson plan for the student with Down Syndrome, making sure to fit it to the students needs without making the student feel left out or stupid. Also, we would have "role model" students in the same group as those with IEPs to make sure the students have peer support.

3.) We would will divide the students into reading groups and have a student struggling to read in the same group as a student who is at a higher reading level to ensure that students have role models and peer support. Also, we would have the teacher check in with the students on a lower reading level frequently. That way the students who need more assistance get it without being singled out.
