Abstract: In the United States, inclusive education aims to provide equal educational opportunities for students with disabilities and their nondisabled peers. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act's requirements for a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment provide strong legal support for this. Still, several socioeconomic barriers prevent complete inclusion. Among these are structural limitations, financial difficulties, social attitudes, and the framework of policy implementations. This paper will try to specify the difficult obstacles affecting all aspects of students with disabilities inside the United States' system of education. This will be accomplished by means of a critical literature and data review in respect to inequalities started by underfunding, limited resources, and negative society view. To address such issues, one advises individual, social, legal, and national interventions. The paper supports inclusive policies in implementing federal projects aiming at leveling the playing field for all students, social change, empowerment, and policy reform.
