This research uses a qualitative case study method to apply SEL to support inclusive student interaction and emotional well-being. The study results indicate that SMP Negeri 40 Surabaya has made significant strides toward creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment by implementing an accommodating curriculum, support from special assistant teachers, and an adaptive assessment system.
