We are sharing this not just as a personal moment, but as a call-out to schools that claim to be inclusive without being transparent about their actual capacity.
To schools: please do not use the word “inclusive” if your inclusion only applies when a child is easy to accommodate.
It is okay to be a regular school.
It is okay to admit that your team is not yet trained.
It is okay to say that you currently do not have the staffing, facilities, accommodations, or support system needed for children with autism or other disabilities.
What is not okay is giving families false hope.
What is not okay is letting parents lay everything out — diagnosis, challenges, therapy history, needs, concerns — through email, chat, and in-person inquiries, then still allowing the child to go through the anxiety and pressure of testing, only to eventually say that you do not have the capacity to support them.
Parents deserve honesty from the start.
Children deserve to be protected from unnecessary emotional stress.
Families of children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, speech and language delays, learning differences, sensory needs, physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and other support needs are not asking for special treatment. They are asking for transparency, fairness, and respect.
Inclusion is not a marketing word.
Inclusion means readiness.
Inclusion means trained teachers.
Inclusion means reasonable accommodations.
Inclusion means honest screening.
Inclusion means knowing your limits and communicating them early.
To every school that truly practices inclusion — thank you.
But to schools that use “inclusive” only as a label, while filtering children out after they have already gone through the process: please do better.
Our children are not the problem.
False inclusion is.
