Inclusive education is one of the most current trends in the special education program. It also amplified the call for inclusive education since the president of the Philippines signed the law about implementing inclusive education last March 11, 2022. However, before the trends and passing of the law about inclusive education, the Department of Education is already practicing the inclusive education program in the Philippines by including the learners with special needs who can cope with other typically developing pupils when it comes to domains such as cognitive and psychosocial behavior.
