Abstract:
A growing number of differently-abled pupils are seeking the acceptance and understanding of the regular schools that will grant them the chance to be enrolled as a regular student despite the odds that their disability might bring to the unvarying school situations. The study examined and described the lived experiences of the school personnel on the implementation of inclusive education in private schools. Data gathered through unstructured interviews and observations were presented using the narrative research design. The researcher included the experiences she had with her son who was diagnosed with mild autism who has far-reaching experiences on how inclusive education has helped him develop into a better individual. Most of the data were obtained through the life stories of the key informants of the study. Reflecting on the gathered data, differently-abled learners get maximized learning and socializing opportunities when given the chance to learn with their classmates. At the same time, the school personnel provided some unique perspectives in dealing with the implementation of inclusive education on their part.
