Mission Statement 

The Florida Inclusion Network (FIN) provides learning opportunities, consultation, information and support to educators, families, and community members, resulting in the inclusion of all students.

What is Inclusion?
Inclusion is the practice of educating all students together - students with disabilities and students without disabilities - regardless of their abilities or readiness. It is more than placing student with disabilities in a room with their peers without disabilities.  With true inclusion, students with disabilities can access the general education curriculum, classrooms, and typical school activities.  In an inclusive educational environment, we strive to have the student receive specialized instruction and support in the general education setting.  Download FIN Resource
