Pendidikan inklusif yang kini berjalan belum terealisasi secara maksimal. Masyarakat pun belum memahami mengenai paradigma pendidikan inklusif sehingga tidak dapat berpartisipasi didalamnya. Partisipasi masyarakat merupakan komponen yang sangat penting bagi keberhasilan pendidikan inklusif. Karena dalam sekolah inklusif ini dibutuhkan kerjasama antara masyarakat dengan pengajar di kelas untuk menciptakan dan menjaga komunitas kelas yang hangat, menerima keanekaragaman, dan menghargai perbedaan.Peran serta masyarakat yang berupa kerjasama kemitraan antara sekolah dengan pemerintah, orang tua, dan kelompok masyarakat serta organisasi kemasyarakatan lainnya dilindungi oleh undang-undang atau peraturan-peraturan pemerintah yang mendasari kerjasama kemitraan. Peran serta masyarakat sangat penting diwujudkan dalam implementasi pendidikan kebutuhan khusus, karena masyarakat memiliki berbagai sumberdaya yang dibutuhkan sekolah dan sekaligus masyarakat juga sebagai pemilik sekolah di samping pemerintah.Saat partisipasi masyarakat dapat dilakukan secara maksimal dalam mendukung pendidikan inklusif maka tujuan dari pendidikan untuk kesejahteraan akan tercapai. Community Worker membantu menyediakan sumber, kesempatan, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas warga masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi di dalam dan mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakatnya.
