The Social Model and ASN: Reflections on inclusion by Sian Jones https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td Does the social model make things inclusive for children with ASN? en-us 2023-03-23 10:06:55 UTC 2025-12-08 17:05:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535034376 It does! It makes so much more sense to change the environment around the person ]]> 2023-03-28 13:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535034376 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535035370 yes! we feel like it supports the child while at the same time avoiding the stigma - things are put in place that will benefit the whole class - e.g. visual timetables]]> 2023-03-28 13:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535035370 yes!

Without this module I wouldnt have realised that the school I worked in was not wheelchair accesible for example https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535038329 2023-03-28 13:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535038329 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535230319 Make learning accessible as well as physical environment ]]> 2023-03-28 15:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535230319 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535231128 It does make changes for the better removing a lot of stigma and making things more accessible. ]]> 2023-03-28 15:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535231128 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535231848 yes as it it makes learning environments more accessible for all learners]]> 2023-03-28 15:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535231848 Yes https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535232541 It helps to identify where improvements can be made to make an evironement/situation more accessible. It also removes the resposibility of inclusion away from someone with a disability and places it with society, who are responsible for these barriers in the first place.]]> 2023-03-28 15:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535232541 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535232729 Yes, it does help children with ASN as they are taking away barriers that were originally created through society and allowing them a more inclusive environment. ]]> 2023-03-28 15:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535232729 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535232856 There needs to be the correct support innplace for the child for its to help with ASN. If there is the correct support towards that child then it will be beneficial.

It makes us think about barriers and can give us strategies to improve the learning environments for all pupils. This ensures inclusion. ]]> 2023-03-28 15:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535247644 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535248381 Yes, making changes specific to the learners needs is vital ]]> 2023-03-28 15:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535248381 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535248478 yes I would agree as it brings awareness to ASN and can educate practitioners and pupils on the spectrum of disability, and can encourage positive attitudes surrounding disability. ]]> 2023-03-28 15:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535248478 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535248894 Yes as it breaks down prejudice and normalises these very real needs and situations, something with society has failed on time and time again. It also allows us to directly take responsibility rather than blaming the medical diagnoses, encouraging people to take initiative to make the world more inclusive. However, we still have far to go, I feel it only recently has become a semi accepted model and there is still a shocking amount of uncertainty and reluctance towards inclusion. ]]> 2023-03-28 15:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535248894 To an extent https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535249016 It allows us to think about what restrictions could be affecting the child and approach changing the environment first. BUT there is many opportunities that come with diagnosis and things that can be life-changing by using things from the medical model (for example hearing aids) ]]> 2023-03-28 15:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535249016 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535249495 Yes. As it allows us to see where barriers may be and therefore what we can do to overcome them.]]> 2023-03-28 15:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535249495 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535249550 If there is the correct support in place for the children in terms of adults that are available/active in the classroom then yes the social model can help with inclusion. I think by incorporating things like visual timetables for the whole class rather than individuals can benefit everyone however if there are large classes with lack of support then not all children will be able to thrive with the social model. ]]> 2023-03-28 15:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535249550 https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535251151 Yes - as it takes away the ‘fault’ of the person, and is instead the responsibility of  the surrounding environment to create an inclusive space ]]> 2023-03-28 15:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535251151 To a certain extent https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535251193 Yes as it is enabling them to participate in mainstream schooling and allows them to do it in a way that suits their needs.

But also it doesn’t, as sometimes these children may need greater support than what can be given through a mainstream school. This needs to be accounted for in this model and resources/information needs to be put in place for these occasions if they need to happen.]]> 2023-03-28 15:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sjones537_1/71kikfes5d97g1td/wish/2535251193
