Extract

The vision was to have a group of up to eight mildly – moderately intellectually handicapped children integrated into a Year 1/2 class at Monkland State School. The total class numbers were to be the same as for a regular class (for infants – 25) with two teachers, one of whom is trained in special education. The integrated group would progress through the school with their age peers. The needs of the children would be considered in the School Development Plan. The special needs group would be closely linked to the special school campus so its specific facilities could be utilised. Some students enrolled at special school would also have access to the Monkland group for some integration/link activities. In two years time a similar class in another school will be opened.
