special needs in regular classes during specific time periods based on
their skills. This means regular education classes are combined with
special education classes.

• It is exclusion of all the students who are not able to fit in the
curriculum or in schools settings for any reason. Not aim of including
all students so very narrow concept.

classes with normal children on either a part or full time basis.

specialized educational help and services.

policy of education. 1986 recommendation to provide equal
opportunity to all not only for access but also for success.

with normal children in the same educational setting.

It helps to remove inferiority complex among disabled children. It
provides peer group help in learning from normal children.

• It ensures social integration. It inculcated affection, love etc. It is less
expensive as special infrastructure is not required. Special learning
material and specially trained teachers are not appointed. Disabled or
challenged students may get help from peers for learning and get
motivated for learning.
