What Is Inclusion ?

- A short video produced by Down Syndrome Queensland in conjunction with Griffith Film School and Pullenvale State School. The 4-minute video showcases the difference between integration, perceived inclusion and true inclusion in a classroom environment.
The vignettes are staged to demonstrate the differences between integration, perceived inclusion and true inclusion. Pullenvale State School is itself well on the journey to true inclusion and kindly participated in this video to help grow the understanding of what schools should be striving for.

I agree that the child should be included wth their classmates, but if they are not able to keep up wth certain subjects, some children just get bored, switch off and start acting out.. Even wth differentiated work, many children still need the help of a special needs assistant (in Ireland) and fall secerky behind if not supported by an SNA.. Its very insulting to the person trying to help the child...
Honestly, no, I am not ready to include you. While this video is designed to tug on people’s hearts, it doesn’t consider the impact of modifying the classroom for one special needs student. The type of modification needed will significantly slow down the learning of the other students. It will also place a greater demand on the teacher, who is likely already struggling with a long list of demands placed upon them. If the special needs student can keep up in an unmodified classroom, then include them. If they can keep up with additional help being given OUTSIDE the classroom, then include them. If the classroom has to modified to meet their needs, then don’t include them, because it hinders the progress of the rest of the students. While some may interpret what I’m saying as mean, many will see it as the truth.
As the father of a girl with Down syndrome I completely understand this video, we are dealing with the same challenge at our school. I hope this message gets spread far and wide.
This doesn’t work for everyone I did beter in special Ed
UNISA STUDENTS WHERE ARE YOU?! ❤️😂
In my different practicums as a future English teacher I've seen cases of children being excluded. This video is so meaningful and it shows the exact point we all need to know: there has to be a change of perspective.
I absolutely agree with this for the younger years, but there comes a time when some students are so far behind their peers that they cannot learn the same things as their peers. I worked in a high school as a TA and the student sat in class, took notes, and participated in all activities with peers. He did not understand the subject content and could not discuss it in activities. He was brillant creating things with his hands. I wish we would have allowed him to focus in on his talent , perhaps teaching him to be a book illustrator so that he had a career after leaving school.
She simplified everything in this line. "Treat me the same as many others and let me flourish".
Wow, it all sounds so simple! Only those that have 0 experience and therefore 0 genuine understanding of the situation, could be so emotionally taken in by this message.
I am watching this video and screaming, yeeess! I am a teacher's aide working with children 3.5-4.5 years old. I agree with the narrator of this video. I sometimes want to say to the therapist, stop and let the child be. she is constantly in his ears and I find it annoying. Whenever she approaches the classroom, his entire demeanor changes. Instead of the independent child who was participating in the activity, he becomes totally dependent and even stops doing his work altogether. He becomes distracted and disruptive and nothing gets done in peace. I am actually planning on having a non-descript conversation with the director about ideas that have been floating in my head. I hope this video is putting a new perspective on the approach for all listening. Let us make inclusion work the way it's supposed to work.
I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome in kindergarten, tho I only learned recently of my condition, so I completely agree with this type of mentality. I was thrust to the world just like anyone else and had to adapt.
Brilliant. At Kinephonics, all individuals have an inner voice and we never assume that we know what it is saying. Our mission is to give everyone an outer voice.
My son who has Down Syndrome starts kindy next year... this was super helpful thank you.
Great video. This should be shared and been seen by educators to understand their needs and thoughts.
Question: How many down syndrome kids actually go to school and complete college? The reason we all applaud one for completing college in the news is because they beat the odds. How many jobs/careers/places higher people who had inclusion classes (with all the extra help, tutors and guidance) Do you honestly think that a place of real proprietorship will be will to help accommodate people with down syndrome every minute of their work hour? I am a teacher, I love my kids, but one of my 11th graders today grabbed an open half eaten muffin from breakfast from the trash and started eating it, I had to tell him to stop, and when I did he got mad a through desk through the window. My point is we alway see the successes of down syndrome we never see the opposite.
I am a person who was diagnosed with mild Autism since the age of three and it has been twenty years since that fateful time. Inclusive education is not easy, but has long-term benefits. When teaching all children (regardless of disabilities), you need to have courage, wisdom and a spirit that is over 100 times of an average layman. In other words, your heart must be magnanimous and your spirit must be like iron.
Well done Bella! We are all proud of you!😊
What a beautiful, enlightening video for very many of us teachers. Thanks.
I want a law to be created and passed that explicitly states and rules
This video just wants her to fend for herself, and do work that is not accessible to her so she can " be like everyone else" ... Is the parents ego forcing their child to "just be like everyone else, do the same things others are doing".... What this egomaniac is suggesting is that their child flounder in anxiety and be forced to do work that is inaccessible to them so that their egos are stroked . I am sure the EA does let her do as much work as she can independently. This is so idealistic and unrealistic truly. The video also suggests the EA go away so that a Peer can help instead but putting that responsibility and job onto another young 7 yr old is really unfair to them.
