The Importance of Including Children with Disabilities at School

Children who have disabilities, whether it be mental or physical, often feel excluded. 

It is important to make sure that all children are included in school activities. Other students need to learn to accept students for who they are, rather than what they look like. 

The best way to include children with disabilities in school activities, according to the YouTube video by UNICEF, is to make sure that the school is handicap accessible. This means building ramps so that students in a wheel chair are able to easily maneuver their way around.

It is also important to let the child know that they are wanted in the activities.For example if everyone is outside on the playground and there is a child alone in a class room, wave at them through the window, or go into the room and tell them to come play.
