Abstract
The inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream education has been prioritized in many education systems around the world as a requirement for social inclusion and cohesion. In this chapter, we describe the policies and practices that are currently in place to support the education of students with disabilities in mainstream schools in Singapore as well as those that need to be further developed or established to enhance the quality of education of these students. In particular, we review research studies and other scholarly work with regard to the attitudes of Singaporean teachers on inclusive education, the role and responsibilities of allied educators who provide learning and behaviour support (AED-LBS) to students with disabilities in mainstream schools, and other types of support that are currently provided within schools. This chapter will conclude with using the lens of inclusive education to view Singapore’s current educational landscape in order to provide a commentary on prospects for the inclusion of students with disabilities within mainstream education.
