How did you learn about the inclusive program?

I learned about the inclusion program during my volunteer work at White Elementary.

How do you feel your child is benefiting from the inclusive aspect of the program?
The inclusion program means more "hands on" in the classroom. All students benefit from the extra assistance given. I think it is also a good opportunity for Caleb to be with kids with different types of needs and to learn how to work with these children.

Have you had concerns and how have these concerns been addressed?
I did wonder if my child would be "slowed down" by the students with IEP's in the classroom. However, after having my child in an inclusion classroom for two years, I believe he has made good progress. The extra personnel available for assistance and the experience he is getting are beneficial.
