The issue concerned with enhancing support to the intellectually disabled students for enabling them to access the general education has gained significant importance in the recent years all over the world. The intellectually disabled students suffer from neurodevelopmental disorders that acts as a barrier to the normal functioning of the brain and slow down the learning abilities and proper development of an individual. The presence of intellectual disabilities affects both the mental and physical well-being of the students by causing issues for them to understand, think logically, speak, remembering things, and find solutions to the problems. Many research studies are conducted across the world for finding the ways and designing innovative models that can help in increasing the access to general education for these students with special needs. The universal design for learning framework also aims at providing support to the intellectually disabled students for gaining access to general education by enhancing their intellectual functioning and ability to adapt.It is essential that faulty and unethical practices prevailing in the educational settings in concern with the recruitment of teachers and training processes are discontinued and replaced with better policies. Parents, family members, and society play a significant role in enhancing the acceptance level among the children with intellectual disabilities (Agran et al., 2010;Kraglund-Gauthier, Young & Kell, 2014). Treating children with love, respect, and care at home and giving them equal social acceptance to access the community belongings and attend social programs expose children to varied settings enabling them to gain new experiences. In this respecting development of a landscape that facilitates communication of the children with other normal peer, parents, teachers, and society can make it easier for the children to access general education. Designing new policy interventions that aim at keeping a check on the integration of healthy practices can help in meeting the changing needs of the students and prepare them for facing the world in a better manner (Agran et al., 2010).
