Every child in the U.S. has the right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that meets their unique needs and provides them with an education that is comparable to that provided to students without disabilities.¹ As a future inclusive education teacher, you’ll have the opportunity to be in a position that is instrumental in safeguarding the rights of the children in your classroom, and in helping them overcome barriers to academic success and independence. This program can qualify you to pursue licensure so you can work toward making a positive difference in the lives of children with disabilities.
