INCLUSIVE EDUCATION ACONCEPT DEFINITION AND

SIGNIFICANCE
Inclusive education is a relatively controversial topic for
many parents and educators. The idea behind inclusive
education is that students with special needs will be placed in
the same classroom environment as other students of their age
who do not have special needs.

Inclusive education happens

when children with and without disabilities participate and learn

together in same classes.

Research shows that when a child

with disabilities attend classes alongside other peers who do

not have disabilities, good things happen.

For a longtime,

children with disabilities were educated in separate classes or

in separate schools people got used in the idea that special
education meant separate education.

But we know that now

a days when children are educated together, positive academic

and social outcomes occur for all the children involved. Positive
outcomes cannot happen by simply placing children with and
without disabilities together. Inclusive education occurs when
there is ongoing advocacy, planning, support and commitment.
Steps in Inclusive Education
1.

Identification
The first step in inclusive education is to identity the

student who many need the extra support and to find out what
their needs are for this, the teachers and AEDs (LBS) have to
work together.

2.

Intervention
The next step is the intervention. This step involves the

teachers, the students and their parents.

It is and extensive

process of talking to everyone involved and working out the

best way to support these students. Every child is different. So
there is no one size fits. All the factors which are involved in
the development of the students should work closely together
to support these students with special needs.
Benefits of Inclusive Education.

task. Here are some guidelines which can be followed to select
the teaching strategies.
Beware of Simple Solutions.
Because children learn in a number of different ways.

disabilities good teaching is international, systematic and time
consuming.

Some questions should be asked to know whether the
strategy adopted is effective or not.

therapists and other parents.

strategies that seem to be most appropriate for your child.
