IJIEDR welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, conceptual and theoretical papers, case studies, evidence-based practice reports, policy analyses, and scholarly contributions that examine contemporary challenges and innovative solutions in inclusive education, disability, and rehabilitation. With a commitment to academic excellence, ethical publishing practices, and international scholarly collaboration, IJIEDR aims to facilitate meaningful dialogue among researchers, educators, practitioners, institutions, and policymakers worldwide.
