Developing Inclusive Education

Inclusive Education is used in many ways. For the Disabled People’s Movement it means all children and young people receiving their education together in the same school or college with the support provided and teaching and learning varied so that all can make social and academic progress to meet their potential.

Here are some views about inclusive education recently gathered by the Alliance for Inclusive Education in their campaign- We Know Inclusion Works.

Disability News Service:

Disability News Service (DNS) is run by John Pring, an experienced journalist who has been reporting on disability issues for more than 15 years.

He launched DNS to address the absence of in-depth reporting in both the specialist and mainstream media on issues that affect the lives of disabled people.

'The aim is to encourage schools and colleges, as well as the media, unions, employers and public bodies, to raise the profile of disabled people’s rights, inclusion, disablism, the social model of disability and the struggle for equality.'
