The Handbook of Inclusive Education

advocates the importance of inclusive education. It presents a collection of various models, practices, experiences, first-hand accounts and success stories from India, where inclusive education has been implemented.

- Hearing Impairment

- Orthopedic Impairment

- Learning Disability

- Cerebral Palsy

- Intellectual Impairment

- Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Part three discusses current developments in the fields of inclusive education and describes what a `real' inclusive school should be like.
