Abstract
This chapter discusses the origin of inclusion, which is based in schooling children with special needs. It reviews the history, research, frameworks, and models, and what is needed to for inclusion to work. The chapter then reviews what is necessary to move inclusion beyond the classroom and into the workforce. Finally, the chapter looks at inclusion with the lens of diversity and equity, and not just for people with disabilities. One cannot discuss inclusion for all individuals without first considering how inclusion got started for people with disabilities and what makes it successful. This chapter provides an overview on inclusion of people with special needs in education in order to understand how to best include all individuals throughout their lives.
