Book excerpt: The attitudes of school principals, heads of divisions, coordinators, teachers and other school staff on disabilities, affect the placement of students with special educational needs in schools. In addition to their placements, these attitudes affect the way these students are likely to be treated, and whether their right to receive quality education will be respected. In this non-experimental quantitative study, the researcher explored attitudes of private school principals about inclusion of students with special educational needs in the general education classrooms. Principals of 28 private schools (17 within the capital city Beirut and 11 outside the city) from different genders and age groups, with different experience in the field of education, answered the questions of the Principals' Attitudes toward Inclusive Education (PATIE) questionnaire (a 5-point Likert-type scale). Statistical analysis (t-test) revealed a positive attitude among the participants towards inclusion of students with disabilities without any statistically significant influence or difference among them, regardless of the principal's gender, age, location of the school, or years of experience in the educational field.
