Abstract	This is a response to Bonfiglio and Kroh's "Inclusion in Catholic Schools: From Inception to Implementation." Bonfiglio and Kroh identify three primary barriers to inclusion: (1) Lack of culture; (2) lack of resources; and (3) lack of knowledge and skills. In Karen Hopson's experience, lack of culture can be one of the most challenging obstacles. It is challenging work to change the culture of the school to be open and accepting of all children. Many teachers still feel students with disabilities should be served in a special education classroom, rather than in the general classroom setting (Turnbull et al., 2010). Finances in Catholic schools continue to be a challenge, especially considering the lack of state and federal funding available to support Catholic schools in meeting the needs of students with disabilities. Finally, lack of teacher experience serving students with special needs and professional development are constraints many school leaders face when seeking to expand services to students with disabilities (Boyle & Hernandez, 2017).
