Abstract
This study focuses on inclusive education and special needs groups. Inclusive education ensures equal opportunities for learning and access to education for all students, including those with disabilities. Special needs refer to disabilities that require specialized services or accommodations. Inclusive education practices involve instruction and support in a grade-level classroom with same-aged peers, specialized classrooms or settings, and inclusive teaching strategies. The benefits of inclusive education need to extend to all students, including gifted and general students. Still, there are also challenges, such as inadequate infrastructure and facilities, the need for additional resources and training for teachers, and the difficulty of providing individualized learning programs.Additionally, there may be issues with bullying and the need for cooperation from various stakeholders. Inclusive education is crucial for instilling healthy thoughts and tolerance in children and creating a less prejudiced world. The importance of inclusive education for children’s growth psychology is highlighted, along with its benefits and challenges in implementation. Suggestions are provided to create a positive learning environment and improve student and teacher relationships to reduce stress and anxiety.
