Based on data from the World Bank, one out of ten poor people around the world is the disabled. Poverty experienced by the disabled is a direct and indirect result of the exclusion and marginalization of people with disabilities because of the stigma and prejudices about disability. One of the stigma and prejudice on people with disabilities arise in the educational setting. The United Nations [UN] report showed that 90 % of all children with disabilities in developing countries still do not attend school, and the literacy rate of adults disabled predicted only 1 % (United Nations). Since Indonesia ratified Salamanca declaration, about equal education access for persons with disabilities, some inclusive schools begin to set in Indonesia. The government started affirming that Children With Special Needs (CWSN) basically has the right to education as normal children, without discriminated, by placed CWSN in special schools that are different from normal children. This article attempts to review various studies regarding the implementation of inclusive schools in Indonesia, to get a picture about the process of eliminating discrimination against students with special needs in Indonesian school.
