Abstract
Individuals with mental disabilities and neurological diseases are often stigmatized in the society. It is important for all stakeholders to be aware of the social stigma brought against these individuals and to strive for a harmonic society and better development in the people with mental disabilities and neurological diseases. In the educational sector, it is the responsibility of teachers and students to work together to promote social inclusion and to minimize social stigma against those individuals inside and outside of the classroom. This chapter describes the activities that I adopt in teaching and cultivating social inclusion of students with mental disabilities and neurological diseases in the classroom setting.
