The concept of labeling in context of education psychology
Labeling  refers to the process of defining  a person or group  in a simplified way –narrowing down the complexity  of the whole person and fitting them into broad categories. At the simplest level labeling involves that first judgment  you make about someone, often based on first impressions –are very worth making the effort  to get to know more are you indifferent to them.
According to labeling theory, teachers actively judge their pupils over a period  of time, making judgments based on their  behavior  in  class, attitude  to learning , previous school reports and interactions with them and their parents, and they eventually  classifying their students  according to whether they are high or low ability, hard working or lazy
Labeling in education psychology  have some significant or advantage such as
Individualized  education  plan;
An obvious pro of labeling a  child who has special needs  in the classroom is that teachers can use this information  to help the child learn using their limitations as a guide .once a student can receive an individualized education  program designed  to meet his or her unique needs. Identifying students in specific categories of disability allows professionals to design an educational plan specifically for the student which will best meet the students  educational needs.
Extra learning support
By labeling a child, they will receive extra services that they may not have been able to receive otherwise. For example, the child may be able to receive instruction in a learning support room at a pace that work for them . They cane receive  frequent repletion and instruction in a much smaller setting with other students.
Targeted instruction
By labeling the child as learning disabled these students are able to get help in order to remediate their specific problem. Receiving instruction based on what students need is crucial in helping them excel and be successful in the future. The teacher and staff are better equipped to teach the child in a way that ensures learning by knowing what the specific learning disability is for each student.
The disadvantage of labeling       
Low self-Esteem for the student
There are many laws in place that protect the rights of students with disabilities including access to services  and helping to ensure these students are not discriminated against. However many children do have low self-esteem once they are labeled .Students who are identified as student with disabilities may doubt themselves , feel that they are not as smart as others and create a sense of learned helplessness.
Lower expectations from parents and teachers
Parents and teachers may be guilty of having lower expectations for children with special needs. They may believe the student cannot do what required of the other students and therefore lower the learning expectations for the child. Basically, if the teachers and parents don’t believe in the child then the child , wont believe in himself either. Lower expectation set up student for failure.
Peer issues
Fellow students can be mean and make fun of the student with the special needs because they are different. This may lead to the student having difficulty making friends and or make them vulnerable to bullying or other mistreatment. It very important that teachers and parents help these students to build positive self-image and boost their self-esteem by helping them build healthy relationship with others and to recognize their strengths.
The meaning of inclusion in education
Inclusion simply defined, it means including disabled students with non-disabled students in every aspects of education, from the same classrooms to the same social activities and support groups.  It is a practice that  has its own instructional practices and legal requirements. Disabilities a phenomenon that encompasses stereotypes , myth, negative attitude and inappropriate behaviors are a major barrier to the successful education intergration of children.
Inclusion is a philosophy where the belief is that every one has a basic right to participate fully  in society. It is a term that accepts differences .Inclusion is a practice that requires collaboration, teamwork, flexibility, a willingness to take risks, and support from a whole array of individuals, services and institution. It is designed to prepare all students for productive lives as full, participating members of their communities inclusion can be rewarding for all people involved  when correctly carried out.
Inclusion has benefits for all of the students and teachers involved  in the process. Such benefit are
