Abstract: he call for inclusive education is to ensure that every learner is accorded with expected care, assistance, motivation among others in ensuring that the learners become useful to society. Several major models of inclusion (including the medical and social models) have been proposed in the context of inclusion of persons with disability. The medical model of inclusion posits that disability problem fundamentally dwell with the individual and health provider’s duty is to resolve the problem, however, the social model imply that people with disabilities accomplish their lives in a social structure that is complex and typified by threats and opportunities arising from resilience, resources and systems. It is worth noting that to achieve inclusive educational goals, we should consider how best to implement the medical and social models of inclusion.
