Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study the impact of regular education teachers' attitudes regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities in rural schools. The study population consisted on twenty-five teachers. A Likert Scale survey was administered to determine their attitudes regarding inclusion. The findings revealed that the majority of teachers had limited knowledge about the subject matter. The educational implications and recommendations noted were that teachers need more inservice training regarding skills in working with children with disabilities.
