Abstract
With a view toward inclusion, Taiwan's special education law has undergone eight amendments since 1984. The learning environment for children with disabilities has also shifted from segregation to integration and inclusion. Currently, the learning environments for special needs education in Taiwan include regular classrooms, resource classrooms, special needs classes, itinerant visits, and special needs schools. To achieve “inclusive education,” Taiwan's elementary and junior high schools are also implementing a variety of approaches. This chapter focuses on “the practice of inclusive education in Taiwan” and discusses the contents of the current “ Taiwanese-type” inclusive education practices and school cases from the development process and status of inclusive education in Taiwan.
