The parents? Well, one benefit is not having to drive the kids very far because they make friends in the neighborhood. Fewer parents suspect that my child is "exceptional" They don't have to ride a different bus and "look different" I develop better communication skills dealing with inconsiderate mainstream teachers. I become more of an advocate for my child. I may have had other kids go through that lass/school and know the teachers.

I agree with the person above - the child gets the chance to learn essential socialization skills. Some children are able to be fully included, while others will still need specialized, individual instruction. Either way, it's a wonderful opportunity for all involved, so long as the school is committed to providing an exceptional environment for the child.

Inclusion teaches other children that a child with special needs is just like them. It helps with social skills and they are given the opportunity to interact. I would say the parents benefit by the child learning at their potential.

Inclusion gives the child a chance to fit in and be normal and to hopefully be successful in a larger population of non- spec ed students. The parents can learn and benefit from seeing their child, watch and do what other children do.

I think the parents benefit because they know that the child is in a classroom where a teacher has the accreditation for the needs of the children. Parents could also get support from other parents who have children with similar needs.
