Abstract:
Talking about well-being is incomplete without taking into account all sections of society. Every component of society contributes to the well-being of every individual in that society, as well as the environment in which that society nestles. Special children and their care is an extremely sensitive and germane issue in today’s world. The paper explores the relationship of the well-being of special children through implementation of inclusive education strategies and the impact of that on every section of Indian society. Categorisations of special children needs along with a brief description of problems faced by them has been provided, followed by strategies such as UDL, SEL, PBIS, intensive counselling and teacher preparation. Fostering positive school culture and creating a sense of belonging will bring in ultimate well-being for society. All psychological theories of well-being point out that an individual feels fulfilled when his creative as well as philanthropic faculties are utilised for personal, professional and social good. Well-being is about addressing the last mile, compassion and resources reaching the lowest rung, people who are considered incapable of leading even a normal life. That is what true inclusion is described as, and it brings in the most intense sense of well-being.
Keywords:Inclusive education, Wellbeing, motivation, counselling, UDL, SEL, PBIS.
