Integrating Inclusive Education
Each child is unique in his or her own way, with some being bright and other dull. All in all, irrespective of these differences, every one of them has a right to activate their potential and develop their talents. According to Passiatore et al. (2019), inclusive education protects the rights of all disabled children by integrating them their non-disabled classmates in regular classroom settings, with the former being provided with additional help. Family involvement and support is among the factors that determine whether inclusion succeeds. Parents are usually the initial teacher of their child and they continue to shape his or her development and learning for a lifetime. Involvement by family members can significantly impact the child’s learning process irrespective of the family’s cultural or social background.
Most parents would want their disabled children to feel welcome in the real world, and be provided with the resources and respect they deserve and need, just like children with no disabilities. Families can actively participate in promoting inclusive education by working with school authorities. For instance, they can provide necessary accommodation or make arrangements for how special peers go about learning. When a family gets involved in its child’s education, the student is able to engage in learning activities more fully, stay in school longer, and achieve more(Passiatore ,2019).
The various family members could be parents, older siblings, grandparents, guardians, aunts, uncles, and other close relatives. Their participation in all aspects of a child’s life plays an important role in shaping and determining his or her personality. Parental participation in inclusive education programs tends to encourage new behaviors and build positive relationships. It also increases optimism and self-satisfaction in the parents, their children, and the teaching staff. Such involvement by family members is a key component that leads to a student’s success (Xu, 2019).
Any parent would definitely want their child with special needs benefit fully from the school experience. Disabled children require educational opportunities that are appropriate for their respective ages and abilities. When parents and teachers work together, they present the ideal support for disabled children. Together, they can ensure special students as much necessary knowledge and skills as possible needed to succeed in life (Francis et al, 2016).
No one knows children better than their parents. They know their abilities, strong and weak points, likes and dislikes, desires and needs, challenges, capacities, and capabilities. Sharing this information with teachers is of great value when coming up with an education plan for the student. It is important for parents to be fully involved in all aspects of decision making related to a child’s education. There are instances where a child’s disability is identified quite early in his or her life by family members. In such cases, it becomes their responsibility to inform school authorities about their child’s disabilities and special needs.
