Abstract

The study examines the impact of a professional development program (PDP) in preparing teachers for inclusive education. It addresses the importance of inclusive education and how professional development can equip teachers with the necessary skills, knowledge, and awareness to support students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The research explores the extent to which the PDP has prepared teachers to manage and teach students with learning difficulties and disabilities.
