ABSTRACT:
Worldwide it is being observed that inclusion is becoming a major focus of the government policies. To achieve social integration and cohesion, Education reform is one of the key drivers. Inclusion is bringing all children together in school irrespective of their physical and mental abilities. In inclusive school children with differently abled do not study in separate classes. As per RTE, inclusion is important and many schools have started this inclusion practice. It is a challenge for the schools to incorporate inclusion and meet the diverse needs in classrooms. The researcher in this study has conducted case study of one inclusive school. The list of school claiming to be inclusive schools in Baroda city was prepared. After that some schools were visited by the researcher for preliminary investigation and contacted personally. The researcher selected one school on the basis of permission given by the school and their willingness to co-operate for the study. An attempt is made to understand how this school has understood inclusion and what practices they are following to meet the inclusion.
