Teaching Children with Disabilities in Inclusive Settings

We have designed this booklet so that readers can identify and successfully remove barriers to learning, development, and participation faced by many children with disabilities. We are not ignoring all the abilities children with disabilities have; however, our main focus within this booklet has been to offer comprehensive information about different disabilities, as well as how parents, teachers and education planners can respond effectively to the needs these children have. After most sections, we have listed a number of practical tips on how to teach children with different disabilities in inclusive settings. Children with disabilities are not a homogeneous group, where “one solution fits all.” It is therefore important that we try out different strategies to find the ones that work for us, and for the children in our classrooms.
