Literature Review from the year 2013 in the subject Pedagogy - Orthopaedagogy and Special Education, grade: 75, University of Cumbria, language: English, abstract: This literature review will focus on the importance of inclusion within the primary school classroom and the wider school environment. The main focus will be Julie, a five year old child with the genetic condition Down’s Syndrome, that according to the NHS (2014), causes a level of learning disability and a characteristic range of physical features. Under the Equality Act (2010), Julie, has ‘a physical or mental impairment’ which has a ‘substantial and long-term adverse effect on [her] ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities’. Relevant literature will be reviewed throughout this assignment, including a number of educational policies, to establish the importance of inclusion, especially in relation to Julie and her individual needs.
