I am looking for studies on the prevalence of students with disabilities being excluded from field trips. I have found a few court case rulings but no studies looking into how often it happens and why. Thanks!
Lisa Harms Thank you for looking into this question. I cannot help you with advice, but I do development work and action research together with youth with intellectual disabilities. Being excluded is of course a major issue.
Very interesting topic which covers a lot things that need to be redressed by statutory rules in global level(UN and other Continents Unions).
I shall also do research on the topic and see may we can work something out
Insofar as Philippines is concerned, such exclusion will be a form of discrimination under the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons, unless of course all would be participants are given the choice whether to join the field trips or not, regardless of reason, in which case the students with disabilities are given the right to choose whether they still want to participate or not. In such a case, the entity should provide mechanism for the students with disabilities to still enjoy the field trip and with full medical attention and care in place. Hope this helps.
