WMS Inclusion Committee

The Inclusion Committee provides an exciting venue for parents and the school district to work together, share information and resources, and create an on-going dialogue about issues relating to students with learning differences and disabilities. The committee is not a separate special education entity (SEPTA), but rather a committee of your school’s PTA. Its goal is to address the needs of a broad range of students, not just those with an IEP, and to increase acceptance and inclusion of students with learning differences in our school community.

PTA Inclusion Committee Mission:

• To work as a team with the school to assist staff in most effectively helping children with special needs
• To provide information to all parents and community members about children with special needs, so that they can understand and support all children
• To help all children understand and appreciate challenges faced by children with special needs
• To work legislatively to secure and retain adequate laws (and funding for them) for children with special needs
