The role of a special teacher in inclusive education

Abstract

Education is an inherent right of every child. The state is mandated to ensure access to education and provide equal
opportunities for all children, irrespective of their needs, ethnic, religious, or racial background. Historically, children with
special educational needs were often isolated from the broader society and denied the opportunity to receive education
alongside their peers in mainstream educational settings. The success of inclusive education is contingent upon having a well
trained staff, with the teacher playing a pivotal role in this context. Teachers today face significant challenges, including
effectively conducting integrated lessons, facilitating communication between children with disabilities and their typically
developing peers, and implementing appropriate responses to unusual or unpredictable behavior. We think hat state policy
plays a crucial role in the integration of children with disabilities into the education system, with the teacher serving as the
primary driving force behind this effort.
