Abstract	Research on inclusive education (IE) documents benefits for both students with disabilities and students without disabilities. Internationally, IE is frequently aligned with the Salamanca Statement and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The Salamanca Statement affirms 'the right to education of every individual...regardless of individual differences.' IE in Mexico has a brief and turbulent history. Of the 15% of students in Mexico who have a disability, only 2.85% receive IE. In addition, research on IE in Mexico is sparse. This exploratory study investigates the perspectives regarding IE among educators and family caregivers of children with and without disabilities schools in Mexico City, Mexico. Results show a prevalent support for IE among parents and teachers. Implications for policy, practice, and research are discussed. (As Provided).
