2. In my opinion, the biggest benefit of inclusion is making all students feel normal. No student wants to feel different to the extent of feeling like they don't fit in with the crowd. Special needs students need to be included in some way, even if for just an hour or two, with the general education students. A way that I have seen this is the special needs students have gym with the general education students. This way they are included in a way that they are reminded that they are just like everyone else. An example shown in the video is Sean's experience in general education. Not only was he treated like the rest of the students, but the rest of the students came to an understanding of special needs and they gave him the respect he deserved. This teaches general education students a lesson that they will need to learn early in life.
3. In my opinion, the biggest benefit of special schools for students with disabilities is that they receive more direct attention than in a general education school. This attention is needed due to keep them more focused. Most special needs students need that extra little push to stay on track or get their work done. However, like Sean's story, it is not true that a special school is needed for ALL special needs students. Only in specific cases.
