Inclusive education has become a discussion in the global community. The involvement of the global community in the success of education and learning that is student-friendly, environmentally friendly, and learning-friendly is needed. Therefore, inclusive education has undergone many changes and advances in the education system in Southeast Asia in particular and the world in general. Until now, inclusive education has grown and established itself in providing the widest possible opportunity and space for students with special needs to stand equal to other students so that they can become an active part of society and the country.

However, it can not be denied that the practice of special education still needs various improvements in various aspects. A more credible education and learning system is needed that is in accordance with the needs and characteristics of students with special needs. This is supported by Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities and Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 70 of 2009 concerning Inclusive Education for Students with Disabilities and Potential Intelligence and / or Special Talents.

This condition is a challenge for Special Education to continue to develop and adapt to respond to challenges in the future. To answer these challenges requires research, publication, innovation and creativity as well as accommodation based on the needs of the community, educators, educational staff and students.
