Abstract

Inclusion is examined through an article detailing the life a young girl name Ro Vargo. Risk and resilience are examined and examples from Ro’s life are discussed. The sociocultural theory is then fully explained followed by a discussion of elements such as developmental pathways and developmental outcomes such as optimal versus adequate adaptation. Examples from Ro’s life illustrate these concepts. Next, five scholarly research studies are examined and the pros and cons of inclusion are discussed based on the findings of these articles. Finally, the biblical view of inclusion is addressed.
