This happens more for my students with learning differences because the teachers feel they are not equipped with enough resources. A.

The school was remodeled a while ago to change the stairs into ramps, but the school is essentially a bi-level house. When we have students in wheelchairs, or even on crutches, they have to go the long way around, just to be able to access all areas of the school without using 3-4 stairs to get there. ]]> 2016-12-10 01:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/142926945 https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/142958092 2016-12-10 18:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/142958092 chenninger01 https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143030377 Similar to others, the students with disabilities are segregated into different classes. They even go on separate field trips, which could be a great opportunity for some inclusion and for the other kids to have a chance to get to know them.]]> 2016-12-12 01:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143030377 https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143266510 My school is actually pretty easy to navigate for students with disabilities. We have an elevator for students to use to go upstairs. I currently have a student who is wheelchair bound. We have found no major problems She has been able to easily navigate in my classroom. The biggest issue has been in the cafeteria where she has difficultly reaching all of the lunch choices and then there are not any wheelchair accessible seats at the table where my class eats. She has had to go to a table for the pre-K students to eat while remaining in her chair otherwise her chin is level with the table!]]> 2016-12-13 01:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143266510 https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143495064 I was an aid for an ECE student a few years ago. It was nice to see first hand the benefits of her being in the general education classroom. What was disheartening was hearing other educators speak of her and comments about how she should be in self contained. She is lucky that her parents took her rights as a public school student seriously and did not allow her to be "pushed" into a self contained classroom. She learned social skills and had exposure to things she may not have otherwise encountered during the school day.

There are not ramps for access to the building, neither is there open access to the elevator. ]]> 2016-12-13 23:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143506246 elizabeth_rose https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143513306 2016-12-14 02:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/acoomer12/8d3rwejghuxe/wish/143513306
