This course introduces students to the study of integration and inclusion of students with special needs in the regular classroom. It is designed to provide an understanding of the reasons for inclusion of students with disabilities in regular schools, and the strategies that can be used to optimize their educational experiences. It also aims to enhance student-teachers’ understanding of the individual requirements of students with diverse needs. Emphasis is placed on effective research based classroom strategies that have been used by teachers, schools, and communities that have been most effective in the implementation of their inclusion policies.
