Inclusive schools create an environment that is welcoming and accepting of all children. Students are regarded as individual learners; their social/emotional, physical, and cognitive needs are valued and taken into consideration in lesson planning, so that teaching and learning take place.

For this to occur, teachers and administrators should have or develop a positive attitude towards inclusive education. Professional Development training in best practices in special education is imperative to sensitize and educate teachers. The knowledge acquired can enable teachers to provide quality education and support to SEN students. The administrators can lobby and provide teachers with essential resources as well as monitor that proper interventions, accommodations, and modifications are put in place for these students to progress and succeed.

Collaboration among the community, the family, and the school are also important. Engaging specialists, and parent enhances the opportunities for children to succeed. Teachers should develop a positive relationship with parents and engage in continuous discussion since parents have vital information about their children’s strengths, interests, and preferences that may help teachers make better informed academic decisions. Specialists can also provide additional support and training to empower teachers.
