Abstract
The inclusive school is the result of various activities of the society. In order for children with developmental disabilities to be successfully involved in educational practice, it is important to develop the awareness of children about accepting and respecting diversity. By studying relevant literature, this paper presents legal provisions concerning the education of students with disabilities, the new and the old paradigm of disability and the inclusive education with an emphasis on the teaching of religion. The inclusive education is directed towards respecting the needs of every child. The new paradigm follows the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which first of all emphasizes the respect for human rights. Respect, appreciation and acceptance of diversity in the inclusive school is the foundation of each school subject and teacher. Since the religious education, through its program, emphasizes the importance and equality of all people, the religion teacher is an important creator of the curriculum for religious education that contributes to inclusive education.
