This illustration perfectly sums up inclusive education, so it's tempting not to comment ...
However let's take a look at it in the classroom and discover the story of Paul, Kim and Zack. Take a simple example and imagine that the fence is the representation of writing.
Paul on the left has no difficulty writing besides he likes it, Kim in the center is dyslexic she makes a lot of confusion which enormously slows her down and Zack on the right is dyspraxic he does not have automatic gesture, it is as if you had to write a hieroglyph in place of each letter. We can wonder what level of concentration that would require us and what would be our fatigability .. ?? And watch out for presentation, spelling mistakes and punctuation !!!!
Equality
The school equips each student with a computer !!! Everyone is happy, but does paul need it? Is it suitable for Kim? And is that enough for Zack?
Inclues
Paul does not have a computer. Is it unfair? Does he need it? Kim has the right to a human support to offsets her difficulties without being slowed down in her learning because soon she will have managed to gain enough "height". Zack needs the same human support as Kim but in addition he uses a computer whenever it is necessary because it is consistent! What would you prefer between using a keyboard and drawing hyeroglyphs?
Universal access
In all activities (plentiful) for which the writing fence is no longer present. then the assistant steps back, the computer is closed and everyone sees the horizon and the future.
We do not all start in life and in learning with the same skills, but the aim of the school is to prepare everyone to become an actor of life in society. This objective is only achievable by giving to everyone the means necessary for their personal success, so that each individual can be at the same level and have the same opportunities, in a way adapted according to each situation and its evolution.
Bonus: I really like this picture to illustrate the inclusion in general.
Can we make up a story?
See you and take care,
