Floyd Morris - Opis:
- Inclusive education is a practical and transformative endeavor that must be the way of the future for the education of persons with disabilities. This is the view of an individual who has had a lived experience of inclusive education. In this chapter, I seek to chronicle my experiences as a blind person who developed glaucoma whilst attending high school and was unable to successfully complete school due to the inadequacies of the system for a student with disability. Upon becoming totally blind, I went to one of the institutions catering to the needs of persons who are blind and received rehabilitation and re-entered the education system to complete my education. With the rehabilitation that I received coupled with greater understanding and support for a blind student, I was able to successfully complete final exams that caused me to meet the matriculation requirements for university. I successfully completed university with a Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy and a Doctor of Philosophy. All of these were done in regular education institutions and is a clear indication that inclusive education works. I compared this experiential knowledge with established epistemology on the subject of inclusive education and conclude the chapter with some recommendations as how educational institutions should become more inclusive and accessible for persons with disabilities.
