My own opinion about inclusion is that it always has to benefit the disabled person.
It really makes me sick when people or institutions brag about their inclusion programs, when really-it is just something that they do to make themselves feel good.
The more higher functioning cognitively the disabled person is-the more inclusion opportunities they will have.
That doesn't mean that more severely disabled people should not be 'included', but I think parents and family members always have to be realistic about the extent to which that is feasible-and how much the disabled person is getting out of it.
