Inclusive education is a process, not a product. Our educational practices will become more sophisticated as we become more just as a society. Children with disabilities can and need to participate in making choices that affect their lives. We believe every child needs and has the right to be loved and accepted in order to learn. Children with specialized needs need to be supported by teachers who have some specialized information which we believe is easy to understand.
Educators can assume responsibility for their students' learning.
We encourage schools in their acceptance of all students and in the celebration of differences. A strong commitment to include the student with autism in regular classes in the public school. A commitment to developing the unique profile of the individual which acknowledges strengths, needs, and learning style. Capacity to measure progress based on skill and knowledge acquisition rather than the mere suppression of behaviors. Ongoing capacity to identify, evaluate, and analyze problems leading to respectful solutions.
