Creating a school environment where students with disabilities feel welcomed, valued, and fully engaged is essential, not only for the students themselves but for the entire educational community. Neuroscience reveals that social exclusion causes a “social pain” in the brain similar to physical pain, impacting student well-being and productivity. When schools actively foster inclusion, they reduce this pain and create a supportive atmosphere where students thrive.
