Learning the definition and discussing its scope, we’ve come into a great
realization how special education, also known as inclusive education, became relevant
and valuable for people with specific incapability and disability. It a program designed to
address the needs of the said person in terms of academic, skills development and
social conduct. Moreover, it does not only provide awareness on them but onto those
that surround them that lives a normal life (people without incapability and disability).
Laws are given to protect them from discrimination, abuse and any unprecedented
circumstance that involves superiority over them. These laws include Batas Pambansa
Bilang 232 and 344. None can say that the government was blind with their existence
as programs were made for them over a number of years. These programs allow them
to experience the same activities done by a normal person yet some rules and
techniques are omitted, such basketball for those without legs and other activities in the
livelihood industry. This promotes the skills they possessed neglecting the idea that they
different from the others.

Even though Inclusive Education has many benefits, we cannot deny the fact that it
has also lots of obstacles and barriers to learning, and with the participation of learners
vulnerable to exclusion, we all know that we are all lacking for its successful
implementation to remove that kind of barrier. Environmental, curricular attitude and
communication barrier are the major hindrances that interfere with the effective
incorporation of inclusive education for those who are special, gifted and disabled. The
very challenging to have those kinds barriers but as a teacher you must need to have
proper and right practice in order for you to handle any kinds of hard situation in the
future regarding to those students who have disabilities. You as a teachers must be
responsible for you action and decisions because it may affect your students to the
point that it will test your patient on how far you can handle difficult situations.

Teachers therefore incorporate best teaching methods in regards to student’s

diversity and without discrimination. Teaching in inclusive classroom is not only requires
tons of patience, it is also requiring responsibility despite of the student’s differences we
should give an equal and interactive learning to our students. The things that I realize
about the video which is challenges of inclusive education is that first, we must give full
support and attention to our students with special needs. Most importantly, the
government should provide more programs for them in regards to their social status. We
must create an equal program for them, so that through this we can provide maximized
and conducive learning for them similar to the normal students. As future educator,
must play a big role as a medium in incorporating the programs given by the
government for our students with special needs. We should create teaching methods or
techniques that incorporates knowledge to them that is similar on what kind of
knowledge that a typical or normal student in the classroom.

Lastly, the benefits of inclusive education are all children with special differences
are still able to be part of the community as they always are. With inclusive education,
they were given the chance to feel the sense of belongingness in the community and
were accepted and treated well by those that are normal. Inclusive education provides
better learning strategies that allow them to learn at the means suitable for their
disability. Thus, they will be ignorant as what another think they are. Inclusive education
is really helpful to the special person because they can help to be a better, to achieve
the dreams or goals of every individual and not think that they’re just a person with
disability but that they have unique abilities and skills that can help other people too.

There are many views regarding children with disabilities and how to care for
these children. Parents who have to care for children with disabilities have to face
many issues and problems in doing so. Culturally throughout history, there has always
been a stigma of having a child with a disability or special needs. Many parents have
found it difficult to care for a child with a disability or special needs due to cultural views
of individuals with a disability. But, over the years, society’s views on children with
special needs have changed greatly due to advancements in medicine and increase in
services that assist families with special needs children.

Prior to the 1980s, children with special needs were viewed by society as a
plague and needed to put away. Many parents who had children with special needs or
disabilities would place their children in mental facilities or “crazy homes”. In these
mental facilities, the children were mistreated, abused by the caretakers, and were
forgotten about. Oftentimes, the families would place the special needs children in the
care of a family member who would ensure that the child would not be seen in public.
Many parents felt it was best if they would place the child in a mental institution or in the
care of a long distance relative, instead of, caring for their special needs child. Also, the
parents did not want anyone to know that they had a child that had a disability or was a
special needs child. But, around the 1980s, many laws were passed that ensured that
individuals with special needs or disabilities would be treated in a humane and loving
way.

After the 1980s, federal, state, and local governments passed laws and regulations
that made it a crime to mistreat children with special needs. Also, the cultural views of
society began to change regarding children with special needs. Society began to
realize that children with special needs had something special to offer to society.
Individuals with special needs began to be seen as human beings and could function
well like anyone else without a disability. Cultural views began to change greatly
because people began to realize that everyone has some form of handicap they are
born with like having to wear glasses, unable to read, etc. The cultural views have
changed over the years concerning children with disabilities and society has been more
acceptable of individuals with disabilities and special needs.
