Inclusion is regarded as a process of addressing and responding to the diversity of needs of all persons through enhancing participation in learning, employment, services, cultures and communities, and reducing isolation at all social circumstances. The concept of inclusive education originated from three major ideas. These include: inclusive education is a basic human right; quality education results from the inclusion of students with diverse needs and ability differences, and there is no clear demarcation between the characteristics of students with and without disabilities and vulnerabilities.

It has also benefits to students with and without special educational needs, parents, teachers and society at large.

REFLECTION What did you observe the socio environmental situation of your area for people with disability? In our village, people have no sufficient knowledge about including whom these need special attention, such as people with disabilities? Because of this, they have not given a focus to these people. For example, I live near condominiums; the stair building is not comfortable for physically disabled people. Moreover, these whom people with disability have no opportunity to get an education with their peer. Moreover, the other thing is after they enter school, they are learned in special education because of this, they do not share their knowledge and experience with other people. Overall our community needs to learn and know inclusive society. What are the existing opportunities and challenges people with disability? People with disabilities in now day have many opportunities than past because of the development of education of inclusiveness, so many works are done with consideration of disability. For example, many buildings have comfort stairs for these people. Disabled people with disabilities also face a challenge. For example, a person with a physically disabled person may not employ in these need eye, hand, or mental and other reasons; thus, they may face a challenge. They also face a challenge from society, such as stigma and discrimination because of society's culture or myth. Mention any innovative technology which could assist the life of people with disability? Because of now day technology development, there is much technology they assist disability from these. Smartphones for disability have assistant software. The personal computer also has assistant software. 4|P a g e By NFTALEM AREGA INCUSIVE ASSIGMENT Because of the widespread internet, e-learning also helps with this disability; they are not going anywhere. They can learn from home. For these who have a physical disability, an electronic wheelchair also helps them. What should be done for improving the life of people with disability in terms of using technology? There is much technology that can help people with a disability. These technologies are invented by innovator people, so in now-day innovators, they should focus on creating technology that is not expensive and easy to use for people with disabilities. 5|P a g e By NFTALEM AREGA INCUSIVE ASSIGMENT REFERENCES Dr. Bitew Atnaf Bahirdar (Asst.
