SummaryInclusion came by the way of Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 which gave the right of equal educational opportunity to children with disabilities. This was later reenacted in 1990 as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Supported by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, IDEA ensures that children, even with severe disabilities get the opportunity to receive a free public education in the least restrictive environment. E.J. Erwin (1993) said that ‘the true essence of inclusion is based on the premise that all individuals with disabilities have a right to be included in naturally occurring settings and activities with their neighborhood peers, siblings, and friends’.
