I think it actually encourages typical kids from interacting more with the SN kids.  Why should SN kids be treated like a pariah, if they are going to regular school and classroom in a regular bus?

SN kids don't get special bus stops.  Only those SN kids that need a special bus stop get one.  No one is going to tell OP the specifics of why that child gets a special bus stop and why her child (and all of the other neighborhood children) cannot use the bus stop.  And, giving a particular child the service that child needs is not treating the child like a pariah - it's putting the child in the least restrictive environment, which is the goal of special education.[/quote]

OP here.  I am not asking to know that specific child's reason.  I'm just looking for a good reason, in general, why kids can't use a bus stop meant for a SN child.  I understand that bus stop was specifically created for that SN child.  But, I don't see why someone else can't use it since it's there.

Someone used an example of an aide in the class that is specific to that SN need, and how no other kids can use that aide.  I agree with that. But, let's say a non SN kid needed help picking up a chair and putting it on the table at the end of the day (they do this, btw), and the aide was nice enough to help that kid.  Would you really tell that aide you can't do that?

I assume most people without physical disabilities have one time or another sat on the seat reserved for people with physical disabilities when the seat was empty on a bus or train. I'm sure most people would get up and give that seat to the person with the physical disability if such a person boarded the train.    That seat wasn't met for able bodied people, but most of us at one time or another have used it.[/quote]
