Diverse Needs
![Page 5: Strategies for Students with Diverse Needs Working as a collaborative team Presenters: Kendra Nesbitt & Chris Janzen Oct 2013.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ac887550346b2288b57c9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Needs-Based Service Delivery Model (2011)• needs are more important for programming and essential supports
than categorical labels of disabilities
• students receive appropriate services, not just the services for which they qualify
• students have different needs that can change over time
• individualized, flexible and responsive supports to meet their needs and enhance the growth of their strengths and abilities
• a comprehensive evaluation of the needs of students and their families, identification of their concerns, coordination of supports that efficiently use resources

• Inclusion is a value system where all students are entitled to equitable access to learning, achievement and the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of their education.
• Inclusion is more than physical location. It incorporates basic values that promote participation, friendship and interaction.
• Inclusion involves bringing the support services to the child rather than moving the child to the services.
