How does inclusive education promote success?
Inclusive education refers to an educational program that involves students who have special needs spending most or all of the time in the same classroom with non-special education students. The term "inclusive education" was first coined in 1988 by Jocelyn Dawes, who identified it as a philosophy that is based on equal access to education for all.
