Good intentions, good work in some areas but they impose their philosophical beliefs about inclusion in the mainstream classroom and ignore evidence that it does not work for everyone. My severely autistic son bit his hand every day in the "inclusive" classroom. We had him removed to a quiet location with an autism/aba trained aide and he went on outings with his peers swimming, apple picking etc and he prospered and loved school thereafter. Incusion is a belief system not an evidence based approach to complex disability and learning challenges.
