After clarifying the concept of inclusivity, the chapter lists the factors that need to be borne in mind by a society that treats people with disabilities as equal citizens. Possible means to achieve this goal are properly applied virtual reality methods. The chapter highlights some of the methods that can be applied to people with autism, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, and wheelchairs, and to help these people with disabilities live as independent life as possible for them. The tools of virtual reality can also play an important role in sensitizing and shaping attitudes in an inclusive society. The third part of the chapter focuses on these possibilities.
