Technology integration has become an increasingly significant aspect of modern education, and its potential to support inclusive education practices is a subject of growing interest. This research paper presents a case study that explores the integration of technology in inclusive education settings, specifically focusing on the differences between private and government schools. The study aims to understand how technology is utilized to promote inclusivity, address diverse learning needs, and enhance the overall educational experience in these distinct school contexts. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with educators, students, and administrators, along with quantitative analysis of technology usage data. The research investigates the types of technologies employed, the strategies for their implementation, and their impact on student engagement, accessibility, and learning outcomes. By comparing private and government schools, the study seeks to identify unique practices, challenges, and successes related to technology integration for inclusive education.

Preliminary findings reveal that both private and government schools recognize the potential of technology to facilitate inclusive education. However, differences emerge in the extent of technology adoption and the strategies employed. Private schools tend to have more resources available for technology integration, resulting in a wider variety of assistive technologies and personalized learning platforms. Government schools, on the other hand, navigate resource constraints but display innovative ways of utilizing existing technology to cater to diverse student needs. The outcomes of this research contribute to a deeper understanding of how technology can bridge the gaps in inclusive education, shedding light on best practices and potential areas for improvement. The findings offer insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders seeking to leverage technology as a means to create equitable and inclusive learning environments in both private and government schools. Ultimately, this case study underscores the importance of harnessing technology's potential to foster a more inclusive educational landscape that accommodates the diverse abilities and needs of all students.
