Why not everybody?

I was at a dance for students with moderate to severe disabilities on Friday, and I was struck by the numbers of students who use a wheelchair who were lined up in a row like tin soldiers watching their peers dance. Why was it that their teachers and aides were not seeing to it that they participated? Was I the only teacher concerned that ALL students were having a good time? Students who use wheelchairs need space to move and support and encouragement from staff to enjoy and move to the music. I endeavor to make sure that next year they have the space, support and encouragement to fully participate in our dance.
