- SEN schools could help children to gain a full education despite their individual needs, however there is much debate over this.
- Allow participation in all activities, adapt activities so that they are suitable for all.
- Educate all children in SEN so that they have an understanding of the behaviours of their SEN peers
- Start at an early age i.e. reception/year 1 with simple explanations of the conditions which may lead someone to have SEN, then gradually add more detail to these explanations as the children get older to ensure a comprehensive understanding
- Meanings

- Meaning 2 - A 'Philosophy of acceptance... a framework within which all children... can be valued equally, treated with respect and provided with equal opportunities at school' (Thomas, Walker and Webb, 1998)
