The creation of cultures of inclusion, the development of inclusive policies, and the implementation of inclusive practices

Abstract

With the Salamanca Declaration on Special Education, the entire educational system promotes and encourages the inclusion of all students in mainstream schools, regardless of their origin or developmental issues. Although inclusive education has followed a distinct and separate path from special education in its evolutionary phase, they both emphasize the common ideology of responding to the needs of students to ensure their full participation in the educational process, whether they have disabilities, behavioral problems, or face segregation due to different ethnic backgrounds.
