[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I had a friend who said she only looked at private schools because "I want him to go to school with normal kids."[/quote]

Is inclusion just disregarded as important? How will your friends kids react by seeing "disabled" kids?[/quote]

Honest question - aside from family members, how many "disabled" adults do you interact with during your day-to-day?  Especially at work.  Inclusion in public school does not equal inclusion in the workplace or social settings.[/quote]

Moreover, how many disabled adults with significant behavioral disabilities?   I only see them on the subway, and my reaction is to move away.  [/quote]

Well, a lot of disabilities are invisible.  My nephew was one of those kids who threw chairs in classrooms and needed a private placement.  He got excellent treatment and has come a long way.  Works full time in IT.  I doubt anyone he works with knows he’s disabled.  Comparing kids in a classroom setting to adults at work doesn’t really make sense.[/quote]
