Enhancing Academic and Social Development for Students with Special Needs in Inclusive Classrooms

• In Event: Strategies and Challenges of Teaching Diversity and Inclusion in the Classroom

Abstract

"Enhancing Academic and Social Development for Students with Special Needs in Inclusive Classrooms" is the specific focus of the research. Education is not universally accessible, inclusive, or all-encompassing. The purpose of this project is to investigate approaches to improve the academic and social development of students with special needs by focusing on the opportunities and challenges that come with integrating them into inclusive educational settings. This subject is important since it deals with everyone's fundamental right to an education, regardless of their skills or impairments. Not only is inclusive education required by law in many states, but it is also morally necessary to guarantee that all students have equal access to education and socialization.
This subject affects a number of social groups, such as educators, parents, legislators, kids with special needs, and their classmates without disabilities. While their peers and teachers may require assistance in modifying teaching strategies and creating an inclusive environment, students with special needs may encounter difficulties in their academic and social lives. Parents could worry about their children's development and well-being, therefore inclusive education needs to be taken into account by legislators as part of more comprehensive social and educational initiatives.
The idea that inclusive education is crucial to promoting a just and equitable society is what has people interested in this topic. The goal of the research is to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of inclusive classrooms and to pinpoint practical tactics for advancing the social and academic growth of kids with special needs.
