Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Dr. Gerald Craddock:
As Dr. Hartney pointed out, it is about building trust and a key part of the two examples of Portugal and Finland is that the communities and parents are directly involved in the whole process. If that trust is not built, it will not happen because there are issues in getting inclusion up and running. If people do not understand that, there are problems, but they can be overcome if we work together. The policies in Portugal and Finland are two examples.
