questions that follow.
1.2
Definitions of inclusive education
Support needs – Every learner needs support, but some learners, for whatever reason,
may require additional support for learning. Additional support needs can arise from any
factor that causes a barrier to learning, whether that factor relates to social, emotional,
cognitive, linguistic, disability, or family and care circumstances. For instance, additional
support may be required for a child or young person who has learning difficulties; is
being bullied; has behavioural difficulties; is a parent; has a sensory or mobility
impairment; is at risk of school drop-out or has been bereaved. There are many other
examples besides these. Some additional support needs are long term while others are
short term. The effect they have varies from child to child. In all cases it is how these
factors impact on the individual child’s learning that is important and the impact
determines the level of support provision required.
Assistive devices – An educational assistive device is any device that is designed, made or
adapted to assist a learner in performing a particular educational task. It is intended to
compensate for any form of functional limitation that makes it difficult for a learner with a
disability to access the curriculum. Assistive devices and technologies such as wheelchairs,
prostheses, mobility aids, hearing aids, visual aids, and specialised computer software and
hardware increase mobility, hearing, vision and communication capacities. With the aid of these
technologies, people with a loss in functioning are better able to live independently and
participate in their societies.

1.4 What does curriculum differentiation take into account and at which levels can it be done?
(4)
Curriculum differentiation takes into account learners’ levels of functioning, interests and
backgrounds, and it can be done at the level of content, teaching methodologies, assessment and
learning environment.
1.5 Who should be part of the discussion when an individual support plan is designed? (2)
A plan designed for learners who need additional support or expanded opportunities, developed
by teachers in consultation with the parents and the school-based support team.
Question 2
Punctuate the following paragraph.
Inclusive education is the most effective way to give all children a fair chance to go to school
learn and develop the skills they need to thrive
inclusive education means all children in the same classrooms in the same schools it means
real learning opportunities for groups who have traditionally been excluded not only children
with disabilities but speakers of minority languages too inclusive systems value the unique
contributions students of all backgrounds bring to the classroom and allow diverse groups to
grow side by side to the benefit of all (13)
= Inclusive education is the most effective way to give all children a fair chance to go to school, learn
and develop the skills they need to succeed. Inclusive education means that all children are taught in
