The presence of people with disabilities in communities around the world has significant impacts, both on their survival and on meeting their educational needs. From various perspectives, implementing an inclusive education model across all levels of public education is an appropriate solution to ensure students receive educational services that meet their needs. The resources to support this policy are not always readily available. These resources consist of two components: the human resources (HR) needed to support inclusive education services and the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure. Smart books, innovations in advanced learning technology, are well-suited to accommodate various learning styles of students with special needs, both visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Given their ability to accommodate diverse learning styles, the development of smart books as learning material templates is expected to play a crucial role in universal design for learning in the implementation of education for people with disabilities in inclusive schools.
