Education is a transformative force that shapes lives and strengthens inclusive societies. In an increasingly diverse world, understanding and addressing the needs of individuals with disabilities is essential. *An Introduction to Disability and Inclusion* serves as a comprehensive guide to deepen awareness, challenge misconceptions, and promote meaningful inclusion across educational settings and beyond. Basics of Disability offers a foundational understanding of exceptionality, covering concepts, types, strengths, and characteristics of diverse learners. It dispels common myths, explains twice exceptionality, and introduces the WHO’s ICF framework, highlighting how environmental barriers influence participation. Provisions for Empowerment of Learners with Disabilities under the RPwD Act (2016) outlines the legal protections that uphold dignity, equal opportunities, and reasonable accommodations. It underscores the need for accessible, barrier-free environments that support active participation for all learners. Characteristics, Incidence, Prevalence, Types, and Needs of Specific Disabilities provides insights into locomotor disabilities, cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments, and speech and language disabilities, helping educators understand their unique challenges and strengths. A subsequent unit explores Additional Disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, multiple disabilities, and deafblindness, translating awareness into practical, learner-centred strategies. Sensitivity While Working with Persons with Disabilities highlights respectful communication, appropriate language, and the importance of recognizing abilities over limitations. It encourages eliminating stereotypes and embracing the intersectionality of disability. Intended for educators, caregivers, policymakers, and advocates, this book is both a resource and a call to action. It urges readers to challenge biases, dismantle barriers, and build environments where every individual with a disability can thrive and reach their full potential.
