Should you invite the child with special needs to parties/ playdates??

I have heard of several incidences recently of the one child in the class with additional needs never being invited to parties or playdates even when its a whole class party. It smacks of discrimination to me. To my mind it is the reason why inclusion cant work no matter how inclusive a school is. The school cant make parents be inclusive.
The parents I know whose children have suffered in this way have been very upset.
What do you think?? BTW my son with addional needs is older and past this phase. I was thinking reception/year 1 where views are set and parents /children start making friends

Dd (asd) has a party every year. She invites her friends, I invite the SN children who never get an invite. Dd is happy to see whoever turns up, we have an entertainer who caters for for the SNs and the non SNs fit in with that.Win win all round Grin
