Na UNESKO-voj Svetskoj konferenciji o posebnim obrazovnim potrebama održanoj 1994. godine u španskom gradu Salamanki usvojena je Izjava i Okvir za akciju kojima se ističe pravo svakog deteta da, bez obzira na njegovo fizičko, intelektualno, emocionalno, socijalno, jezičko ili drugo stanje, bude uključeno u obrazovni sistem, odnosno u redovne škole i razrede. Obrazovni koncept koji proističe i koji se razvija iz ovakvog jednog opšteg stava o potrebi uključivanja sve dece u redovne škole poznat je kao inkluzivno obrazovanje. U radu je predočen pregled nekih definicija inkluzivnog obrazovanja u svetu, najnovija istraživanja o inkluziji u našoj zemlji, problemi u inkluzivnoj nastavi, stavovi nastavnika i roditelja u inkluzivnoj nastavi.
