SOCIAL WORK AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.

Inclusive education can be understood within a number of varied frameworks, namely, the cultural, historical, political and social paradigm keeping in mind that Inclusion is an elaborate interaction that is taking place within social structures and policy enactment. The thematic paper emanates from the social worker’s intervention as facilitator for learners with disabilities in inclusive education with its aim to explore and explain the role of the social worker as facilitator in inclusive education. Throughout the discussion we can interpret and conclude that the social worker does not need new skills to be able to facilitate learners with disabilities in inclusive education in order to deal with children with special needs. The social worker can draw on already existing skills ,increasing participation and promoting advocacy human rights , cultures and communities, and reducing exclusion within and from the social sphere.
