Creating an Inclusive Schooling System

Inclusive education means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighbourhood schools in age-appropriate, regular classes. Inclusive education is about how we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programs, policies and activities so that all children can learn and participate together. This book is an attempt to present novel research and ideas for 'Creating an Inclusive Schooling System'. It has covered a broad discussion on inclusive education, its philosophy, needs, benefits and rationale. It has highlighted various confronting issues and challenges of inclusive education for children with disabilities (CwDs) in India. This book has explained the roles and responsibilities of teachers and parents of CwDs for the implementation of inclusive education for CwDs in schools. It has also included coherent and realistic suggestions for changes and reformations needed in components of the education system for the promotion of inclusive education for CwDs. The final section of the book has included a comprehensive and conceptual discussion on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which is a step forward to ensure the inclusive design of learning for CwDs.
