Georgie, from St. Ben's Preschool replied:

Team Work! Not losing sight of reality!

Melinda, from Raintree replied:
I think one of the important benefits of inclusion is that parents can choose the preschool situation that most closely fits their family philosophy and orientation for their child. When a child is in a preschool that provides support in the areas in which he needs support and freedom to use his strengths, he often blossoms.

We have been excited to see how some of the children who have cerebral palsy with good intellectual abilities have fit in well with the typically developing children at Raintree. Verbal skills have been improved. They are motivated to try motor tasks which other children are doing. They are accepted for their abilities and encouraged in their challenges.
