INCLUSIVE EDUCATION STRATEGIES FOR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS

Abstract

Inclusive education aims to provide equitable learning opportunities for all students, including those with special needs, by fostering an environment that respects diversity and promotes participation. This paper explores various strategies that support the successful inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream classrooms. It highlights the importance of differentiated instruction, assistive technology, collaborative teaching models, and individualized education plans (IEPs). The role of teacher training and positive school culture is also emphasized as critical factors in ensuring effective implementation. By adopting inclusive practices, schools can create a more compassionate, adaptable, and learner-centered educational framework that benefits all students.
