Inclusive education refers to the practice of educating students with diverse needs (including those with disabilities, socio-economic disadvantages, or cultural differences) in mainstream classrooms, ensuring access to quality education and equal opportunities. This approach stems from principles of equity, social justice, and human rights (Ainscow, 2020). This case study aims to understand the effectiveness of the Inclusive Education Program. A successful inclusive education model ensures the holistic development of children with special needs. It increases accessibility by reducing barriers and prepares the children to deal with real-life challenges and to adjust to an inclusive society. Seizures and Hydrocephalus are medical conditions that can sometimes be interconnected. Seizures are sudden uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain. They can cause changes in behavior, movements, feelings, and level of consciousness. Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles, leading to increased intracranial pressure. Proper diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals affected by seizures and hydrocephalus.
