Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees all children with disabilities access to accommodation at school to meet their special needs, making exclusion from physical education classes unlikely to happen today. Option A is incorrect because although integration has played a role in removing barriers, it is not the only reason for increased inclusion. Option B is incorrect because segregation of children with disabilities in special schools is not considered best practice or in line with current policies on inclusion. Option D is incorrect because inclusion programs and individualized education plans are still in place to ensure that students with disabilities have access to the same opportunities as their peers.
