Abstract

Inclusive education is the concept that we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programmes and activities so that all students learn and participate together irrespective of their abilities. Inclusive education is about ensuring access to quality education for all students by effectively meeting their diverse needs. Peers are the backbone of Inclusive Education. The positive attitude of peers towards inclusive education helps the differently abled children to lessen their difficulties in their classroom. The objectives of the study were, to find the nature of attitude of peers of differently abled children towards inclusive education and to assess the nature of the attitude of peers towards differently abled children. Attitude scale and observation were used as the tool and technique to find the result by the investigator. The study found that different levels of attitude on inclusive education among the peers of differently abled children. It also showed that, there exist different levels of attitude on differently abled children among peers. The probable reason for the difference in the nature of attitude may be due to the different types of experiences they got during their lower classes. The reason for the different levels of attitude towards differently abled children may be due to the lack of proper awareness about nature of differently abled children. Inclusive Education helps the differently abled children to lessen their difficulties in their classroom. It is essential that the peers have a clear understanding of inclusive education. The Peers need to understand the problems and difficulties of Differently abled Children, it help to foster the mainstreaming of Differently abled children.
