This book focuses on the rights-based approach to education that seeks to achieve educational equality, social justice, and learning success or achievements for all learners in Early Childhood Education settings, special, full service and mainstream schools. The significance of inclusive schools is not only about providing quality education to all children, but also helping to change discriminatory attitudes, practices, creating welcoming communities and developing an inclusive society.

 

Inclusion of learners can only succeed through learning support and the use of assistive technology.
