Inclusive education has become a global priority, emphasizing equal learning opportunities for all students regardless of their abilities, backgrounds, or learning needs. Traditional assessment methods often fail to capture the diverse capabilities of learners, particularly those with special educational needs. This paper explores alternative forms of assessment in inclusive education and analyzes their impact on students’ personal development. Based on recent literature, the study highlights the effectiveness of formative assessment, portfolio assessment, self- and peer-assessment, and performance-based evaluation. The findings suggest that alternative assessment approaches foster motivation, autonomy, self-reflection, and holistic development. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating inclusive assessment practices into modern educational systems.
