The process ensuring disabled students are more likely to socialize with nondisabled peers in schools is called inclusion.
An inclusive education model claims for gathering all students in the same classrooms and providing, common but individually adaptable educational responses. There are children with very different abilities, both mental and physical, and the aim of the education system should be to develop each person's different abilities to their maximum level. Moreover, this model offers every children the option of enhacing social skills and starting relationships with children of their same age, and it is the means to stop treating differences as a barrier, as there is not any predetermined distinction.
This model contrasts with traditional ones in which disabled students were separated from the others and send to special classrooms, or even to special schools. This entailed a big social distance between them and the other children of their same age who attended ordinary schools.
