Personal topic for research project

My passion lies with special educational needs in early childhood.  When I was a first year teacher I had a little boy in my Kindergarten class that clearly had special educational needs.  Being a first year teacher I did not have the experience to know off hand how to help him.  I  sought the advice of fellow teachers and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO). After assessment and diagnosis I had a better idea of how to help this boy and manage the rest of the class.  This was the spark of my interest and I wanted to learn more about different Special Needs and how to incorporate this into a mainstream inclusive classroom. 

The subtopic I have chosen to research further is the benefits as well as the challenges of an inclusive classroom.  I start a new job in September at an International school in Holland I hope to take my newly acquired knowledge and put it to practise. I predict that the benefits will far outweigh the challenges of an inclusive class.

I would greatly appreciate any shared experiences from you my fellow students and or thoughts on this topic.
