contexts. This article also highlights the importance of educational inclusion and provides
insight into how inclusive learning environments can help students with special needs to
develop their identities and participate in learning. And also this article was conducted in
Indonesia and provides insight into the experiences of students with special needs in the
Indonesian educational context. This can help educational practitioners and researchers to

This article then contributes to the educational literature by highlighting the importance of
educational inclusion and providing insight into how students with special needs can develop
their identities and participate in learning. It also provides recommendations for creating
inclusive learning environments for students with special needs.
The weakness of this article is that the author only conducted research on one person,
whereas there are many other children with disabilities who have the potential to master EFL.
And also the author only conducted research in one place, the author should have carried out
research in many places so that the data taken was more relevant, and obtained many sources
to become the source of the authors' research.
