Inclusive education refers to an approach where students with various disabilities and learning needs are educated in classes with non-disabled peers. The International Journal of Inclusive Education is a strategic forum for international and multi-disciplinary dialogue on inclusive education, with the Salamanca Statement (UNESCO 1994) identified as the international breakthrough for inclusive education. The European Journal of Inclusive Education provides an open-access forum for exploring issues associated with inclusive education. Inclusive education typically assumes the schooling of all students within the same educational contexts, focusing on presence, participation, and participation. Theories of inclusive education usually assume the schooling of all students within the same educational contexts, focusing on presence, participation, and learning outcomes. Inclusive education aims to teach all students together in a normal school-class setting, providing teaching that corresponds to their needs. This study aims to identify the impact on students without special education needs (SEN) of being educated with students with SEN in shared, inclusive, interactive learning.

(22 year old) I grew up in special ed and got out of that prison in 7th grade, and I learned some things that might be enlightening. I was in the ED department for the “Emotionally Disturbed”. I remember going to weekly therapy sessions, and seeing a psychologist regularly. Having my blood drawn on a monthly basis for the risperidone I had been prescribed. The child psychiatrist couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, and neither could any of my therapists. so they put me on an anti-psychotic to subdue me and make their job easier. Not until this past year did I get a chance to speak to a psychiatrist, and within one session, he diagnosed me with ADHD, and put me on Ritalin. now school is 10x more manageable. This is the problem with special education. They treated me like I was inherently broken, and a problem for them. Not to mention the constant humiliation of having an aid come to each one of my classes, and the bullying from other students both in special ed, and in what was called “mainstream” at the time. I grew up feeling inherently other than, and I battle with an incredible amount of self hatred to this day. I believe the ED program just needs to end. The entire school system should be restructured around learning styles, not imposed “disabilities.” therefore, all students would feel included. Imagine having great difficulty controlling your emotions, and then told by an all-powerful system that you’re broken and need to fix yourself, and then being socially confined to interactions with students with virtually identical behavioral issues.
i wish this existed in school when i was younger. i got thrown out the day after my 18th birthday because i had panic attacks. cna folic school in 2007. in my 20s i struggled so bad and still do. high school messed me up so bad i’m on disability after a failed suicide attempt. thankful theres people making waves now
In theory, a fantastic idea. However, additional funding needs to part of UDL learning. How is a solo classroom teacher able to provide personalized lesson plans throughout the school year for students with disabilities? In addition, specialty teachers, who see multiple classes can’t provide UDL for each child. Small class sizes, multiple teachers, and support systems can make UDL possible.
This was an incredibly insightful and informative article and I very much enjoyed this aspect of it. However, it was somewhat difficult to sit through due to the quality of the audio. I tried several times adjusting things on my computer, before I realized the problem as indeed the sound quality of the article.
I agree that the way they treat people with disabilities is wrong, because I had to deal with this while I was in Elementary, Middle, and High School. I am glad though that I had Disabled Students and Program and Services while I was in Community College. It would have been nice had this been around when I was in school. I still deal with my disability of Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. It is sad that they didn’t try harder to work with people who have disabilities. Thank you for showing and talking about the problem with how people who are disabled.
Go straight to the Superintendents’ Office!!! Universal Design sounds like an awesome idea. However, having several exceptional needs requires several therapists and highly trained teachers to provide the service in a typical classroom setting. Five teachers will be in one classroom of 30 students offering 5 varying lessons tailored to providing access to the general curriculum. We want a map created by researchers to show how this can be implemented. Simply expecting the school districts to create a plan is not enough.
Hi Jan Wilson, there is no one size fit all. you may need to draw some attention once the child is crossing the OPT entering the workforce. Believe me, if you willing to share your problems, there will be someone around the corner to help you. I do keep some helpful resources for disabled maybe we can start to build a library on those? Keep it up!
The goal of school isn’t just to teach them the knowledge about the subject, but also to teach them how to study and to learn by reading, and listening skills etc. That’s why it’s set up the way it is. If the goal was just to make sure they know only the material, this way would work, but they would graduate without knowing many of the skills they need in life. I’m for inclusive education, but I’m against changing the way our schools teach.
They torture us in school. I don’t deserve anything and owe everyone. My anger at being treated poorly is just because I’m a bad, jealous person. I’m emo, I suppose, and the only one in the crowd at the concert. Then I got a lobotomy and am heavily drugged. I think we should live in colonies together, have our own towns. We work together much better than as separate creatures. Inclusion was probably meant to increase our chances at survival, but they’re killing us anyway for the budget.
