Abstract

Across the globe, more and more students with visual impairment are receiving their formal education in mainstream settings. There has been a rise in both the number of students enrolled in general education courses and the number of related topics in research on education and special education. In accordance with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, inclusive education is a fundamental human right for all students. Access to the general curriculum, as well as enhanced social contacts and connections, are only two of the many advantages of inclusion that have been widely recognised and praised. Despite this, a large body of literature demonstrates that physically integrating children with and without impairments into the same classroom does not result in an inclusive education of sufficient quality. While the vast majority of students with visual impairment had pleasant experiences, one-third reported feeling lonely or alienated and unsatisfied with their social ties. Some pupils with impairments were targeted for taunting and bullying.
