“Inclusion is not a favor we do for students with disabilities.”
“Inclusion is a gift we give ourselves; the gift of understanding, the gift of knowing that we are all members of the human race and that joy comes in building genuine relationships with a wide range of other people.”
Sapon-Shevin, M. (2008) Learning in an Inclusive Community. Educational Leadership (50).

Inclusion in Physical Education means that students with disabilities participate in all activities equally with typical students.
Students with disabilities learn the same curriculum content, with the same lesson objectives, in the same space, with the same assessments as all other students. Modifications are applied when needed.
