A survey-based investigation of teachers' concerns was conducted the following adaptation of Sharma and Desai's 'Concerns about Integrated Education (CIE) Scale' two decades ago. The terminology was adjusted and 'integrated' became 'inclusive', and 'Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND)' replaced 'disability' in a novel 'Concerns…

Inclusive education for children with special needs is considered fundamental for children to adapt more easily to their social environment. The humanistic inclusion education curriculum can be developed through a curriculum modification process that combines the national education curriculum, local content, and the characteristics of children…

The need for inclusive and equitable teaching and learning approaches is widely accepted in higher education literature. Surprisingly, the notion of inclusion appears to be neglected within the context of eWIL. This paper uses insights from multi-disciplinary theories to propose a framework for the development of an eWIL framework. Its key…

The present study examined inclusive practices in school by studying how teachers realise inclusion in a school for all. The study was based on ten qualitative focus group interviews with approximately 40 teachers from one selected primary school. A thematic, structural analysis was used to identify the themes. The analysis was conducted using a…

Disabilities and neurodiversity are dominantly understood as something that challenges higher education rather than something that enriches it: ableist underpinnings characterize higher education despite policies of widened access. While earlier research has explored ideas such as 'inclusive pedagogies' and 'pedagogies of belonging', these…

Despite evidence that inclusion is a research-based practice for students with extensive support needs (ESN), such students are often denied access to meaningful instruction in general education. This article describes an interdisciplinary program that prepares educators to serve all students, including those with low-incidence disabilities, in…

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides a flexible framework for supporting a wide variety of learners. We report here on a conference that presented the UDL framework as a way to increase success of deaf and hard-of-hearing (deaf/hh) students in introductory biology courses. The Opening the Pathway conference was an NSF Advanced…

There is a growing population of young people with autism entering higher education and successfully completing qualifications, however, their postgraduate outcomes are often some of the poorest. This study responds to the gap in research regarding the transition out of higher education and into the labour market for this group. It outlines a…

Aiming to evaluate the gifted education services provided to Syrian refugee students, this study used a qualitative analysis approach to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats factors (SWOT) that affect practices and services in the field.

Purpose: Administrative support and accurate perceptions are believed to facilitate the use of speech-language services that are integrated into the classroom (i.e., integrated classroom-based services [ICBS]). The purpose of this study was to compare elementary principals' and speech-language pathologists' (SLPs') perceptions of ICBS in three…

Belgium ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2009, which implies that an inclusive education (IE) system at all levels should be realized. Consequently, recent legislation in Flanders (Belgium) aims to reduce the current segregated school system, which has caused some resistance from practitioners.…

In schools today, student trauma and toxic stress may impact students' ability to learn. Therefore, this inquiry explored the experiences and knowledge of 27 physical education (PE) teachers in the United States related to trauma and trauma-informed practices. Teachers' experiences were examined through semi-structured interviews informed by the…

This article seeks to theorize the pedagogical work disabled instructors navigate to create accessible writing classrooms. Through retroactive analysis, I introduce the concept of Access Negotiation Moments (ANMs) as limited, low-stakes contexts where disabled instructors define the limits of their own access needs. Ultimately, I theorize a…

Background: Research highlights how high school near-peer mentors (HSNPMs) in outdoor school settings enhance younger students' programing experiences. Through this engagement, HSNPMs' critical consciousness (CC) of equity in outdoor and experiential education (OEEE) expands. Purpose: This article explores how HSNPMs develop CC of environmental…
