The importance of schools including disabled kids
Nobody enjoys being left out of a group. Consider the events from youth or adolescence. The feeling of being rejected from an admired social group or never receiving an invitation to a popular party. Isolation, worry, doubt, perplexity, embarrassment, loneliness, and grief are just a few of the painful emotions that being excluded from a social group can elicit.
“We go above and beyond for the students and make them feel included. We hold special events for them, engage them in many activities like recycling for example. Deerfield does the best they can to make these kids feel wanted and loved at school.” said ESE Secretary Sharon Rodriguez.
Students with disabilities, including autistic students and students with intellectual disabilities, belong in the regular classroom. They have every right to participate fully in school life alongside their nondisabled peers. Separate classrooms are not a benevolent service for kids with disabilities; They are a persistent form of discrimination.
“Students with disabilities should be included with the regular kids. It is unfair to see them placed elsewhere because they are different from others,” said junior Eva Birro.
Separate doesn’t always mean equal. All children should be able to access anything available to them. No one should be refused access solely because of a handicap or other feature. They should be extended the same rights as their classmates, neighbors or siblings. They are entitled to opportunities that are equal to others.

The same experiences that are advantageous for all children for the same reasons will benefit them. Keeping these children separated from the mass majority creates a blocking wall for socialization skills. The experiences they get while in school will come with a negative undertone.
Opportunities for friendship and socialization can grow as a result of inclusion. It offers a sense of community and suitable social, behavioral, and academic skill modeling. Letting disabled students join the rest of their peers will create a healthy benefit in the long run.
