Inclusion
Inclusion in education is an approach to educating students with special educational need. It's more then just placement in the regular class within school. It's being a part of what everyone else is, and being welcomed and embraced as a member who belongs. I believe inclusion is beneficial if the child is capable of being successful in the regular classroom. Meeting all of a child's needs should not be conditional upon placement. Being physically placed in the regular class should never mean that any needs of the child is overlooked or sacrified. I believe that if the child's needs are better met in a excluded setting, then that's where the child should be placed.

I like how you mentioned that inclusion is beneficial id the child is capable of being successfu in the classroom. This is so true because if a child who has more severe disabilities tries to interact and become part of an inclusive classroom, he or she may be stressed or overwhelmed instead of feeling included.
