    This document discusses the history and goals of special and inclusive education. It notes that while education was historically denied to those with disabilities, educators began seeing its value in the 1920s and starting developing special classes. However, these were typically only available in large cities. The document then explains that another approach is inclusive education, which aims to include those traditionally excluded. It says inclusion rejects the idea that one must be normal to participate in a community and embraces our differences. The conclusion states that abandoning the idea that children must be normal to receive education helps realize the importance of education for those with disabilities and provides all children a sense of belonging.

    Module 1: Definition, Goals, and Scope of Special and Inclusive Education

    Since time immemorial, education plays a crucial role in one’s life. Amidst of our
    differences, it is vital that one must have the access to a proper and good education. All citizens
    have the right to education even those persons with disabilities. Unfortunately, a few centuries
    ago, the probability that a disabled person can undergo a formal education is little to none. They
    are even seen as mentally ill and placed in a mental institution. It is not until mid-1920s that
    educators began to see the value of education and community involvement for individuals with
    disabilities. During this time, special classes for disabled individuals were still developing, but
    typically offered in large cities only. Nonetheless, this simple development leads to the special
    and inclusive education that we have in the present times.

    In this module, I have learned that another way to educate children with disabilities is through
    “inclusion.” It means to include those who are traditionally excluded. Moreover, special education
    began in 1990s and were still developing up until this day. Inclusive education gives all children
    a fair chance to go to school and develop the skills they need to thrive in life. Inclusion disregards
    the idea that you need to be normal to be part of a community, it embraces a deeper
    understanding on our differences and uniqueness. For an instance, a child with disability don’t
    need to be normal to receive a proper education because in the first place, it is his right to have
    one. Education is an absolute right of all. And for us to have that sense of inclusion, we need to
    look holistically on the different sides of being normal. What you think is normal may not be for
    others. Its meaning may vary from each person. Furthermore, it is not our own perception of the
    norms that binds people with disability and don’t have together, it is due to our respect to each
    other that makes us understand our differences and lead us to an environment where no one is
    excluded.

    In conclusion, the moment we abandon the idea that children must be normal in order to
    receive a proper education, we begin to realize the significance of education and community
    involvement for individuals with disabilities and the achievable goal of providing all children with
    an authentic sense of belonging. Thus, this will ensure their rights to quality education and
    outcomes.
