The inclusive education of students with special needs is a fundamental policy for the development of special education in China. This work has been carried out in China for over 20 years. Over the past two decades, inclusive education has achieved remarkable results, primarily reflected in the increased opportunities for school enrollment for students with special needs and a significant rise in the enrollment rate of students with special needs in compulsory education. Additionally, inclusive education requires teachers to adopt a whole-student approach while catering to individual differences, transforming the one-size-fits-all teaching model. It emphasizes strengthening peer assistance and collaboration, which has also advanced the development of quality-oriented education.
The book School-Family Intellectual Development Strategies for Students with Special Needs, written by Dr. Martin Agran and others, provides teachers in inclusive education with methods, details, and concrete steps to implement "student-led" strategies. It includes widely used teaching methods for students with special needs, such as prompting, graphic organizers, self-direction, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement. While introducing theoretical methods, the book also incorporates numerous case studies, offering practical guidance and support for teachers, relevant personnel, and parents of students with special needs in inclusive education.
