Abstract

The goal of inclusive education is to give all students equal opportunities to learn, without regard to their abilities, backgrounds, or needs. To achieve this, it is essential to alter the educational environment to meet the distinct requirements of each learner. Visual schedules, tactile materials, and auditory aids are some of the sensory resources available in inclusive classrooms to cater to different sensory preferences. To promote focus and comfort, learners can opt for adaptable seating and quiet spaces. An environment that fosters inclusivity is as much about culture as physical elements. It is critical to cultivate an atmosphere of empathy, understanding, and respect. Among all students, a sense of belonging, peer support, and open dialogue can be encouraged by recognising and commending their differences and unique qualities. Environment modification in inclusive education, improved by changing surroundings, is a key method for giving excellent education that appreciates students’ diversity. By making these changes, schools and teachers can aid in making surethat every student has an equalchance to learn, join in, and do well in school.
