Inclusion and Mainstreaming
In this section
Does your child have SEN?
A child is considered to have a special educational need if he or she has a learning difficulty that calls for special educational provision to be made for them.
The role of educational psychologists
An educational psychologist is concerned with supporting children and young people within an educational setting. They are there to help your child find more effective means with which to learn. We chat to consultant child educational psychologist Laverne Antrobus, whose work includes consulting on House of Tiny Tearaways
Inclusion in the classroom
Many black and minority ethnic pupils are underachieving in English schools. The latest pupil achievement data indicates that African, Caribbean, Bangladeshi and Pakistani pupils, as well as those from the Gypsy/Traveller/Roma group, are underachieving significantly by the time they are 14 years old. What possible reasons are there for the underachievement of these children in particular? Could it be that inclusion in the classroom is not working effectively?
Inclusion
The term ‘inclusion' has had a number of meanings, often relating to disabled or disaffected children. Historically, it has often been used to mean either the moving of disabled children into the mainstream settings, or reducing the exclusion of other pupils from school.
Inclusive education means disabled and non-disabled children and young people learning together in ordinary pre-school provision, schools, colleges and universities, with appropriate networks of support.
