What Do We Know about Disabilities?
Students with disabilities also have many abilities.
The role of the inclusive educator is to help students use their abilities to compensate for their disability and master challenging academic content.
Disabilities can also be seen as “different
abilities.” Students still have abilities, though their pace, process, and learning goals may be different from most of their peers.

Teacher Expectations
It is every inclusive educator’s job to set high expectations for their students and to help their students compensate for their disabilities to master the same skills and content as their non-disabled peers.

The Next Step
Skillful teachers identify where a student is in terms of their abilities, and define clearly what the “next step” is.
Even if the next step is very small, it is worth focusing energy on accomplishing the next step so that the student’s abilities expand over time.

Discussion
Divide into three smaller groups. Each group will discuss one of the following prompts:
What are some physical barriers to participation for students with different abilities that exist in your country?
What are some attitudinal barriers to participation for students with different abilities that exist in your country?
What are some social barriers to participation for students with different abilities that exist in your country?

Barriers
Many barriers still exist that prevent all students from accessing a full education.
It is our task as educators to address these barriers to ensure all students can access an education.
