Abstract

Emphasizing the critical need to recognize distinctive learning requirements, the study investigates practical applications of inclusiveness within mainstream classrooms. The objective is to explore, observe, and analyze Greek teachers’ perceptions and attitudes regarding inclusive education for children with ASD. Using a quantitative approach, the study employed questionnaires distributed across various regions in Greece to comprehensively capture the variables influencing teachers’ attitudes. Results highlight that teacher professional development, resource availability, and institutional support are crucial factors distinguishing successful from unsuccessful inclusive education initiatives in Greece. These elements significantly shape teachers’ mindsets and their implementation of interventions within mainstream classrooms for children with ASD. Understanding the challenges and specific needs in Greek education is vital for designing appropriate, inclusive practices. This research contributes to the broader discourse on inclusive education, serving as a reference for future inquiries and policymaking in culturally and educationally diverse settings.
