In this essay I will reflect on the inclusive learning environment, I intend to reflect this through research, reading, extending my knowledge and a recent exemplary visit. The main issues I have chosen to address in this essay are inclusion, children's learning and the environment.

This may mean children who have special educational needs, such as dyslexia, physical disability or metal disability.
