Description
Inclusive education, which integrates students with disabilities into mainstream classrooms, has profound psychological effects on all participants—students with disabilities, their peers, and educators. This article explores these impacts in depth, focusing on areas such as self-esteem, social acceptance, anxiety, stress, and emotional resilience. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this research analyzes quantitative data gathered from surveys and qualitative insights from focus groups, revealing both positive outcomes and challenges. Findings suggest that while inclusive education enhances empathy and social skills, it can also increase anxiety if adequate support systems are lacking. Recommendations are offered to address these challenges and optimize the psychological benefits of inclusion.
