Does main school integration work out ok for most kids with moderate learning difficulties?
Moderate learning difficulties are a very broad term. Main school integration is a very broad concept, so it is very hard to offer a clear answer. The biggest factor is the school – are they capable of meeting the child’s needs and does your child enjoy being there? Mainstream schools are usually good at reassuring parents and continuing to do their best to cope and manage while they give the child time to develop the skills and attitudes needed to move forward. They are usually very good at including and very patient. However, they are also becoming increasingly quick to exclude and before that they sometimes fail to make all the provision they promise.
