Capti Solutions for Education
Inclusive Classrooms
The definition of an inclusion classroom is one which gives special needs students the opportunity to learn alongside their peers in age appropriate, general education classrooms. Each child is supported to learn, contribute, and participate in all aspects of life and education within an inclusion class. The goal is to create and develop schools, classrooms, programs, and activities that will encourage students to learn and participate together.
