The classroom environment plays an important part in establishing an effective learning activity. It is critical to optimise classroom facilities for special education in order to build inclusive educational settings. Schools may establish settings that enable special education students to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally by prioritising accessibility, integrating assistive technology, addressing sensory demands, supporting cooperation, and providing proper teacher training. These initiatives help to establish a society that values diversity and provides equal chances for all kids to achieve and attain their full potential. Problem faced by the special education students are limited disabled friendly facilities and lack of teaching aid. Insufficient multimedia materials provided for the student is also one of the problems faced by minorities. Furthermore, the objectives of this study are to identify the classroom facilities standard for special education. For this study, a qualitative method was used as the method to obtain data from the respondents which is thru an online questionnaire.
