Twin-track approach

The twin-track approach in inclusive education involves making system-level changes that enable all learners to be included in the mainstream classroom and providing specific adaptations and support to meet the needs of individual learners. This approach, which is recognized by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), requires a commitment to the universal design of inclusive systems that remove all barriers (e.g., discriminatory laws or policies, inaccessible infrastructure, or financial) and reasonable accommodation for individual needs.
