Enablers and Disablers in Inclusion of Children with Visual Impairment and Implications in the Context of Japanese General Education Classrooms

This chapter highlights current education in Japan and explores factors that complicate the inclusion of children. Furthermore, recommendations will be provided to bring about the necessary changes.
