The primary goal of inclusive education for children with disabilities is:

• A. To provide a quality education so they can become successful in the adult world of work.
• B. To isolate them in separate classrooms.
• C. To reduce expectations for achievement.
• D. To remove them from mainstream activities.

Answer: (A)

Inclusive education focuses on giving children with disabilities access to the same quality curriculum as their peers, with the supports and accommodations they need to participate and succeed. The main goal is for them to grow academically and socially and be prepared for adulthood, including entering the workforce. That’s why the best choice emphasizes a quality education that helps them become successful in the adult world of work. Choices that promote isolation, lowering expectations, or removing them from mainstream activities conflict with inclusion and undermine opportunities to learn and participate with peers.
