Online and virtual learning
Group Dhaarshini
How many of them find it as affordable (finance)?
It is possible for parents with high income to appoint someone to take care of their children while they're not around but it's difficult for parents with low income to do it.
Higher-income families might be able to afford a tutor or childcare, other parents don’t have those options. Some aren’t sure how they’ll manage the need to be at work while children aren’t at school (Mullen, 2020).
A study shows, about 6 in 10 parents say remote learning will negatively affect their finances, Bankrate recently discovered (Mullen, 2020).
Bankrate polled more than 1,500 parents and 605 parents with children enrolled in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Reflecting this abnormal year, 30% of parents said miscellaneous expenses would be the biggest financial toll on their budget.
No, because parents need to prepare materials they need to use to make the learning effective. Begins with gadgets for virtual learning and materials to use for achieve the learning goals. If it is in school it is free due to the transition to virtual learning parents need to prepare curtain things to get best outcome. “Many kids with disabilities live in poverty, (Villano, 2020).
Hands on skills?
No proper assistance
"Managing virtual learning is difficult but managing virtual learning for two kids who have special needs is much harder," said Burgstahler, who does not have another job. (Villano, 2020)
They will face difficult on doing projects. For example, student with learning disability, they will face difficult on receiving proper instructions on how to do the project step by steps.
Difficulty to work with individually
For example, special needs children face difficulty to work on with individually in hands on activities
Because of their disability. Some children are weak and need help in hands on activities. So, when they are learning in online they won't take efforts to participate unless helped by adults around them.
What if the students and family are not familiar with the technology?
Parents can't teach or help children to develop their skills and can't finish assessments in time. For example, if they not familiar with technology, they don't know how to handle with the technology, and can't teach or help their students to finish their assessments on time or whenever they studying in online.
Parents will did not aware of the importance of studying. For example, parents who lack in technology will not give important to studies. So children will left out from studies because of this situation.
Difficulty in figuring out how to get each child logged into their classes on time.
No proper assist
Parents who lack of technology will not give a proper assistance to work on with online platform to submit children assessment. Because of this, teacher fail to analyze children's performance in home especially children with IEP.
Parents are left with no choice but to try to upgrade themselves in order to understand the internet usage needed and master the technology to help their children with online learning, or their children might get left behind (Situmorang and Purba, 2018).

YES, because of the technology in the future which also possible to ensure that both type of children able to accommodate IE programme by 2025.
NO, not all the parent agree towards inclusive education which reduces the percentage.

Assault/abuse/bully(Zia Zee, Sweta, Lee Kuan)
Taking advantage of allowance for the disable kids
Parents become worked out after spending for the disabled child, so they tend to use the money given.
Solution: The higher authorities should monitor the usage of the money given to disable kids.
Homes for orphans tend to not use the money on the disable kids.
Reason : Some parents take advantage of the money given by using it for their own needs.
Solution: Minister can arrange some people to do a monthly checkup to all orphanage and whether the disable kids in the orphanage are well taken care of.

Impact of quality and grades of school achievement
In my opinion, i feel like maybe will put down the grades.However, it will have many benefits for both typical and atypical children in terms of socially, cognitively, personal development and so on.
When schools use evidence-based practices in implementing inclusion classrooms, it can lead to academic and social improvements for both sets of students.Schools with these practices found that disabled students had higher school satisfaction and felt a better sense of belonging. Non-disabled students in turn got the chance to learn alongside those who were different from them, building acceptance and understanding.
Prepare ecial grades for the atypical child
Child special concern (eg. health & safety, teaching methods, etc.)
They need al lot of time
They need help and back up

Promise to the parent will not only focus on the atypical child only
Lets their children playing with atypical children
