Well done to all of you. We could gather from your assignments that you have gained a lot of
knowledge on this topic, which was completely new to some of you. However, this is such a
rewarding field of practice in which all of us can play a definite role and we, therefore, hope to
see more of you venture into this field as postgraduate students. For Assignment 01, you were
given 20 multiple-choice questions and Assignment 02 consisted of long and short questions.

provision of learning opportunities for all learners

building a more quality and equitable education system for all learners

Integration is the process whereby learners, with and without disabilities, attend the same
schools in the neighbourhood, without being provided with the support that they require.
1.3 Mainstreaming (2)

alongside their peers without disabilities.

some learning barriers.
1.5 Medical model of disability (2)
The medical model of disability is overly concerned with diagnosis and treatment and, in
education, those who are different are targets for “remediation” (they must be fixed), as their
differentness is regarded as the problem. It is a model that is overly dependent on specialists.
