Inclusive Education

I am a person with strong opinions but also, I hope, a person who is willing to listen to the views of others. Of course it's much easier to be a critic then it is to offer solutions, so today I would like to present something I do believe in.

Inclusive education is simply including people with disabilities, physical and mental and including them in regular classroom activities. This is not a new concept, it has been embraced at a number colleges and universities. In fact the University of Alberta's "On Campus" is one that is very successful and the model has been successfully adopted at many institutions.

Students with disabilities attend university classes and participate in the same assignments and lectures as other students.
