Inclusion occurs when students are fully accepted members of their school community. The educational setting is the same as their non-disabled peers, when appropriate, and the role of the general education and special education teacher is clearly understood when discussing specially designed instruction, supplemental aids and services as well as accommodations. Join us as we discuss the philosophy of inclusion that embraces appropriate support for students with disabilities in relation to engagement and progress in the general education classroom. Inclusion exists when students with disabilities are involved in authentic learning tasks that enable them to master the TEKS and make adequate progress in the general education curriculum.
