I recently came across a report on special education programming in international schools. Similar to a study I am currently preparing for publication, I found the report insightful and hopeful. The report I located was funded through ICS Limited and entitled Inclusion in International Schools Global Survey 2017 by Dr. Ochan Kusuma-Powell, a founding member of Next Frontier Inclusion.
The study reflects on a study published in 2016 as well as introduces current special education programming practices in international schools. The report indicates more international schools are identifying as inclusive and or moving closer to embracing a culture of inclusion. Categories of disability areas served mirror high incidence disabilities around the world; disabilities in reading, writing, and math (often identified in the area of learning disabilities), children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and children who fall on the autism spectrum as high functioning. The report also includes admission practices, special education delivery models, training of staff member, and much more.
