"Ensuring equal access to education for everyone regardless of gender, race, health status, place of residence, language of communication or other circumstances, is one of the most important indicators of the development of the nations consciousness, which is enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine. Of course, inclusive education is not only architectural accessibility of educational institutions. First of all, it is the creation of an inclusive educational environment which primarily depends on the conceptual bases of the perception of each child and quality training of qualified teachers. That is why today it is important to study and apply the best practices in the organization of inclusive education. The book addresses issues that will help countries to improve mechanisms to implement inclusive education at the national level. I am confident that together we can build an inclusive educational environment in view of the todays challenges."

"I consider this book to be informative and professionally valuable in many ways. On the one hand, several of the book's chapters provide good descriptions of the values that are desired to be achieved with an inclusive school. On the other hand, this book gives many nuanced descriptions and illustrations of conditions in different countries, with possibilities and obstacles to implement inclusion in practice. These conditions reflect socio-cultural variations, economic and political differences, as well as varying special educational traditions. This content makes the book valuable as a contribution in comparative special education."
