Let's understand the terminology related to the education of children with special needs.
Special schools are segregated institutions exclusively for children with specific disabilities.
Integrated education involves placing children with special needs in regular schools without necessarily adapting the system to meet their unique requirements.
Inclusive education is the most modern and preferred approach. An inclusive school adapts its environment, curriculum, and teaching methods to welcome and support all students, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, allowing them to learn together in the same classroom.
An inclusive environment is considered the most congenial as it promotes social integration and provides tailored support within a mainstream setting.
