Students in self-contained classrooms are still general education students.
Placement does not define a student.
Special education services exist to provide support, and part of that conversation is always looking at where a student can meaningfully participate throughout the school day.
Sometimes that may include:
✔️ Music
✔️ Art
✔️ PE
✔️ Electives
✔️ Other non-core opportunities
The goal isn’t “all separate” or “all inclusion.”
The goal is finding the right environment for the student to access education, build skills, and experience connection.
Because belonging matters too. 💛
📌 Save this for your next placement conversation.
