Inclusion in Sports for Studnets with Disabilities

In the article “Boosting Inclusion for Students with Disabilities” by Allison Fetter-Harrott in 2008 Allison took the inclusion program to another level: sports. This article is more about inclusion of students with special needs into extra circular activities rather than into the classroom. As students, there are laws stating your right to join extra circular activities. Many school districts can have a lawsuit on their hands for not allowing a student to participate in a sport due to the fact that the student might get hurt. Some students with disabilities are required to participate in extra circular activities because it is required in their IEP. An IEP is the students’ individualized education program. Taking six steps can help students with disabilities have a positive experience with after circular activities.
