Inclusive education is a global commitment, yet its success depends on how well schools respond to local histories, languages, and the lived experiences of disabled learners. In African contexts—rich with diverse cultures, oral traditions, and multilingual realities—Indigenous storytelling offers a promising but often misunderstood pathway toward more inclusive learning. This article explores a new conceptual model that explains how culturally grounded storytelling, when intentionally designed and co‑created with communities, can strengthen access, participation, identity, and belonging for students with disabilities.
