    Education for All Week 3 - Our answers 3 - Dealing with disability in the classroom
    (2018-06-01) Ohajunwa, Chioma
    In this video, Chioma Ohajunwa responds to questions submitted by the MOOC participants on how to become more inclusive in their classrooms. She stresses the importance of starting with small, practical steps to improve inclusivity, emphasising that special education training is not required to begin with simple steps like walking alongside children with different needs. She goes through the process of adapting teaching strategies to include all children in the classroom and of being creative in working with and around curriculum. She speaks of the value of making connections with other educators working with children with different needs and accessing what materials and resources are already available within your community. In the second question, she addresses the issue of resistant parents (parents of children with disabilities) who do not see the value of their child receiving mainstream education.
