Children benefit from the regular educational programme but at times due to certain conditions they need individualized plan of special education within the setup of inclusive classroom. The concept of inclusive education and classroom is a model wherein students with special needs and disabilities study and spend time with students who do not have special needs or disability. For this purpose, there is a need for training and sensitization of regular teachers, special educators, and school counsellors. Sensitization programmes are also recommended for parents of regular students along with regular students. Together they all contribute in the creation of inclusive classroom. The conceptual framework for creation of inclusive classroom presented in the present work includes ergonomics, classroom management, creation and use of resources, and time-management on part of the teachers.
