IntroductionAll children, including those with disabilities, have a right to

education. This right is included in Philippine Law in the Magna

Carta for Persons With Disabilities (1992), and in international

law in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons With

Disabilities (UNCRPD), ratified in the Philippines in 2008.

However the Department of Education reports that only 2%

of disabled children in the Philippines are currently able to

access educational opportunities. Of those who do access

education, drop-out rates are high because of the barriers of

accessibility and discrimination they face.

IntroductionNowadays disabilities become a barrier for a child to learn

and to study in a normal school specifically, those children with

ASD. Autism or ASD is one of five neurodevelopment disorders

under the umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorders

(PDD). Autism is associated with three primary behavioral

characters: 1) Delays in communication, 2) repetitive and

stereotypic behavior patterns, and 3) delays in speech and

language abilities.

IntroductionSpecial Education is based on the assumption that all

children are special and should receive a good education in

order to develop their potential to become full, active and

contributing members of society. We must look at how the

system can better serve all children, including children with

special needs who require special education and related

services if they are to realize their full potential.

Anova

Inclusive Education has been implemented nowadays in

selected schools in Makati City that’s why there is a need to

understand the call for inclusion . . . . that it is an intervention with

assistance. Thus, it needs support to be able to work.

But the question is, what are the processes these schools

underwent before the success of inclusive education. As a fact, it is

a win-win solution. It addresses the discrimination and at the same

time the needs of children with special needs to access quality

education.
