AbstractThis study recruited participants from UIN Sunan Kalijaga and Universitas Sanata Dharma in Yogyakarta and the University of Sydney, and the University of Western Sydney in Australia and aimed at investigating whether policies are implemented as a bridge to accommodate disabled students for admission and academic pursuits. In this combined policy research and case study, individual, group, and policymaker interviews were conducted. The findings indicate that, while university policymakers admit students with special needs, a lack of academic advocates among faculty has hampered understanding of pertinent policies. As a result, some lecturers do not pay attention to inclusiveness. There are environmental impediments, a dearth of services throughout the enrollment process, a lack of faculty competencies, and a paucity of information in syllabi indicating where impaired students can access resources. In Australia, colleges are more forthright about accommodating students with special needs during the enrolling process and during class time. Both campuses have disability assessment clinics. However, some are more physically and centrally positioned to facilitate impaired students who self-refer for services. The purpose of this paper is to argue that genuinely inclusive education is not segregated schooling that separates 'normal' pupils from those with special needs. For authentic inclusion, disabled populations require considerate, if not extraordinary, care and services.  AbstrakPenelitian ini merekrut partisipan  di UIN Sunan Kalijaga dan Universitas Sanata Dharma di Yogyakarta serta University of Sydney dan University of Western Sydney di Australia dan bertujuan untuk investigasi apakah kebijakan sebagai sarana untuk mengakomodasi mahasiswa difabel pada proses pendaftaran dan pencapaian akademik. Penelitian kebijakan dan studi kasus ini dilakukan melalui serangkaian interview dengan individu, kelompok, pembuat kebijakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun para pengambil kebijakan menjamin penerimaan mahasiswa dengan kebutuhan khusus, lemahnya dukungan para pengajar telah mengurangi perhatian penerapan kebijakan yang relevan. Akibatnya, beberapa pengajar kurang menaruh perhatian pada inklusivitas. Terdapat halangan lingkungan, kurangnya layanan selama proses pendaftaran dan kompetensi para pengajar, serta kurangnya petunjuk dalam silabus menjelaskan dimana mahasiswa difabel mengakses sumber-sumber yang diperlukan. Kampus-kampus di Sydney lebih transparan dalam memfasilitasi mahasiswa difabel selama proses pendaftaran dan kuliah. Terdapat banyak pusat layanan, beberapa secara struktural terpusat di kampus untuk diakses. Artikel ini berargumentasi bahwa pendidikan inklusif itu bukan sistem kelas yang memisahkan mahasiswa ‘normal’ dari yang berkebutuhan khusus. Untuk inklusi, mahasiswa difabel perlu digandeng dan mendapatkan pengajaran dan layanan yang memadai.How to Cite: Lessy, Z., Assegaf, A. R., Sirait, S. (2021).

Across Europe, the enrolment of students with special educational needs in regular classrooms is increasing, although it does not always mean access to high quality educational experience. In this context, inclusive education has been enhanced in most educational systems, but its successful implementation is still limited and has become a challenge in most countries, and specially in secondary education, when segregation due to learning achievement is more frequent. Educational practices that take into account the potential of promoting learning interactions within heterogeneous groups of students have already demonstrated contributing to educational inclusion of students with special needs. In this study we analyse the case of a secondary education school located in Valencian Community (Spain), which educates students with special needs along with their typically developing peers and is characterized by its inclusive ethos. The analysis focuses on three educational strategies implemented in the school and their impact on educational improvement and inclusion of the students with special needs: (1) co-teaching, (2) interactive groups, (3) dialogic literary gatherings. Qualitative data were obtained from communicative focus groups with teachers, communicative life stories with students and relatives, communicative observations of the three educational strategies and documentary analysis. The findings show significant increase in the students' instrumental learning, as well as an improvement in these students' overall inclusion in the school.

Over the years, ICT has emerged as a platform that is seen to enhance the knowledge and skills of students in mainstream learning environments. A growing number of schools however, now provide a separate alternative enrolment for students with special needs. Although there are valid opinions on what is the best method of educating these students (integration vs. segregation) it has been noted by many researchers that technology can play a major role in the learning process. In this paper, an e-learning paradigm is applied in a holistic manner to a special learning community with the aim of determining an appropriate e-learning model and platform to support curriculum design. The paper focuses on a pilot project at a suburban school for students with special needs. The aims of the project are to observe the level of immersion and engagement and its impact on curriculum outcomes of the group. This research project further investigates the transition issues and approaches for this group and the links and relationships beyond the normal school environment. The project has been funded by the School of Information Systems and the School Community.

The article provides a summary of a theoretical study on the main provisions of the activity of the educational institution’s administration in creating and implementing an inclusive educational process at the institution. Inclusive education is teamwork – the responsibility and obligation shared by the whole educational institution is a challenge to the whole team of the educational institution and first of all, a challenge to the administration of the educational institution. Inclusive education can be implemented in various ways all united by organizational culture with positive perception of student diversity, an understanding that the leaders working at educational institutions with their colleagues have a central role in promoting the inclusive culture. The role of administration in the development of the inclusive educational process at an educational institution is to ensure the implementation of the norms concerning the rights of students with special needs to be included, to maintain inclusive policy in the activity of the educational institution, to provide everyone involved in the learning process with information about the special needs of the students, to allocate funds for providing for the special needs, to guarantee accessibility of the educational institution. The administration and the support specialists of the educational institution must work as a team, must develop a plan of measures for the implementation of a further inclusive education process of the educational institution, for providing the support in education where the measures for educational support include determining and assessment of the needs of a student; consultations and support for all students, including the students with special needs, professional development, consultations and support for teachers, the students’ parents and the specialists; consultations of the support team specialists and services, also attracting specialists from other institutions; technical aids and equipment (if necessary); an opportunity to study using sign language and the services of an interpreter (if necessary); transportation services (if necessary, also with an accompanying person); assistant services, etc. The make-up of specialists of the support team of the educational institution – speech and language pathologist, psychologist, social pedagogue, special education pedagogue, medical specialist, etc. can vary depending on the needs and circumstances of the students of the specific educational institution. Work responsibilities of these support team professionals in the general support system of the educational institution are analyzed in the article.
