Positive effects of inclusion?

[tenthavenue]

hi my DD has a new girl in year2 class with severe SN.. the SN child has a 1to1. My DD has never been in this situation before and has talked about the child with SN making noises etc... there are some negative things online about disrupting the general education students... I'm looking for positive stories really, from parents whose general ed children have benefited from inclusion? Or at least not been adversely affected.

It was me. Plenty of SEN children make little progress in primary school if their needs are not being met. It’s not unusual. That’s why some 7 year olds can barely read for example. Some parents will insists they want to stay mainstream when this patently isn’t right for their child.

However many more parents are keen to get specialist help and have a very proactive approach. If a child cannot make progress in a mainstream school, they shouldn’t be there. The child mentioned in the OPs question could end up struggling in mainstream.

Sorry if i took it the wrong way I am a parent fighting for the correct provision.

Ds went through primary in a class with children with a variety of additional needs. One had regular noisy and violent outbursts - sometimes several times a day. I don't know if the school was the right setting for that child. I do know that ds has the most bombproof concentration on his work that i have ever seen. No idea if there is any connection.
