Attitudes Towards Inclusion

People with disabilities, who represent a significant part of the population of today's world, are still on the margins of social goods and values because of the attitudes of people who are not. Although, in earlier social eras, they were observed mainly from the point of view of social possibilities of existence, the appearance of significant world documents, and affirmations on the labour market, these attitudes changed somewhat. Nevertheless, in many countries of the world, the upbringing and education of children and young people with disabilities is burdened with numerous difficulties and problems. This chapter will help students, professionals, and others interested in these problems to get to know them and thus enrich their cognitive, emotional, social, and work competencies that may be needed to work with them. It will help them in practical application at all levels of their education, which will contribute to strengthening positive attitudes towards inclusion.

The study examines the current state of implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilites (CRPD) with regard to the inclusion of children with special needs in mainstream schools in the German states. It provides a comprehensive structural analysis of this area. Article 24 of the convention obliges the signatory states to guarantee an inclusive education system at all levels. In order to examine the extent to which the German states (Länder) implement this requirement in law and practice in their school systems, empirically measurable indicators were formed on the basis of the provisions of the CRPD. Even more than 10 years after ratification of the CRPD, the majority of the German states still face major challenges. Only a few German states are currently undergoing a process of transformation, which is why the majority of children and young people with special educational needs continue to be trained in special and segregated structures.

Time And Energy

As Donald Rumsfeld, former US Secretary of Defense stated in February 2002, “there are known knowns … there are things we know that we know … there are known unknowns … that is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know.” There are an estimated 1 billion persons around the world who live with complex special needs. Multidisciplinary special music education practitioner teams devote extraordinary time and energy to nurture musical communities that are inclusive of diverse cohorts of children and young people. In this chapter, Allan, Laurence, Catherine, Karen, Mary, and Brigit help tell the story. The chapter focuses on this question: What and where are the challenging, sometimes-controversial dilemmas, cultures, and big issues for those who share a common mission and vision of quality musical experiences and activities for all? The chapter undertakes a systematic review of some of the relevant information and scholarly evidence-based research in a diversity of disciplines. There appears to be cause for cautious optimism despite noisy contests of challenging, sometimes controversial dilemmas, cultures, and big issues. Provision of quality musical experiences and activities for benefit of all students appears to have progressed.

And Training

Special Yoga has been a provider of therapeutic yoga practices and training since its inception. The non-profit organization started with a yoga center in London, UK. The Special Yoga London center offered a therapeutic and nourishing, nurturing space for families of children with special needs who were welcomed with love, compassion, and totally nonjudgmentally with open arms. The work spread globally through the London-based trainings and the therapeutic yoga that was offered to children at the center and within education. This chapter will discuss my experience and understanding of the efficacy of yoga for children and young people, specifically those with cerebral palsy and autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The author shares some of the practices, benefits, and case studies of two separate research studies that were undertaken by Special Yoga for each population. The author also shares other case histories of children that they have worked with.

Rural South Africa

This article reports on three sets of interviews conducted with children and young people living in Dullstroom-Emnotweni on the Mpumalanga Highveld in eastern South Africa. Firstly, 50 learners between the ages of 10 and 14 were interviewed on their dreams for the future. Later that year, in 2011, a total of 60 young people who were still unemployed ten or more years after having finished school were interviewed on what was left of their dreams. Five years later, in 2016, a third group of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 were interviewed in order to establish whether the situation of marginalised young people in rural South Africa had changed. The primary school learners expressed their career hopes in terms of the needs of their marginalised society, that is, to become nurses, teachers and social workers. The first group of young people interviewed in 2011 blamed their shattered dreams on the unavailability of tertiary education and the reality of HIV infection. The second group, interviewed in 2016, quite similarly, expressed their concerns as a lack of job and educational opportunities, a lack of agency and choice, a lack of respect from society and decision makers, and an inability to escape from drugs and unhealthy sex.

Children and young people are usually referred to specialist child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) by adults because of concerns raised by other adults. Most CAMHS consider them from a developmental perspective and as individuals in the context of their families and other relationships/systems. In this article I discuss ethical and legal challenges posed by making decisions with and about children and young people within CAMHS, with particular reference to duty of care; the rights of minors' and parents'; capacity and consent; and disagreement between decision-makers. It is important to involve children and young people in decision-making, and I suggest ways of acheiving this.
