Abstract

The concept of inclusive education advocates the inclusion of all children, including those with special needs, in the mainstream education system so that they can enjoy equal learning opportunities. Children with autism have severe impairments in social interaction that affect their learning, life and psychological development. This paper discusses a number of inclusive education intervention strategies for children in peer groups that complement the concept of special education. These strategies include peer support, individualized interventions, environmental modifications, and home-school collaboration. This paper found that these intervention strategies were successful in impacting the social interaction skills of children with autism.
