Abstract: The education system in Ontario is created to exclude Disabled people and other marginalized groups. Instead of building an environment for disabled students to thrive, they are instead viewed as incapable and as a burden on the system. Under the current special education model, disabled students are segregated instead of included. Exclusion of disabled students impacts not only the students but families and educators as well. Drawing on the works of several researchers, this paper will examine the history of special education in Ontario, the challenges currently faced by disabled students, and the current policies and planning surrounding inclusion. Recommendations for future planning will also be given.
