In the context of the core philosophy of inclusive education and the provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which of the following strategic and pedagogical initiatives would be considered most effective and authentic to ensure the successful inclusion of children with diverse special needs (particularly learning disabilities and sensory impairments) in a regular classroom?

Understanding Inclusive Education

Inclusive education implies educating all types of children (regardless of their physical, mental, social, or economic status) together in regular schools without any discrimination.

• Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Provides multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement to cater to diverse learners.
• Differentiated Instruction: Tailors teaching approaches to meet individual student needs.
• Peer Tutoring: Fosters collaborative learning and social integration among students.

Thus, option (b) aligns with the progressive pedagogy of the RTE Act and inclusive frameworks.
