Blog Post #2)  What Can We Do to Promote the Social Integration of Students with ELN?

Research has consistently indicated that most parents, of students with exceptional learning needs (ELN), regard social integration as a primary goal for their children.  However, parents indicate that they do not feel that schools necessarily agree; and, that their children do not have the same opportunities as those provided for nondisabled students.  Studies continue to reveal that children with disabilities experience feelings of isolation; and, that they feel badly because they are not chosen as friends as often as other children.   What can we do to promote the acceptance and social integration of children with disabilities in our schools, communities, and our society?
