As a result, attitudes direct and affect how people behave in their daily lives. It is thought that instructors' attitudes toward inclusion and how well inclusive practices are implemented are key factors. Based on the study, it was assessed how teachers in Oyo state felt about including kids with learning disabilities. In this study, a descriptive research approach was used, and 320 instructors from eight Ogbomosho Oyo State schools were chosen at random using random selection techniques. The questionnaire titled teachers’ attitude towards the inclusion of students with learning disability in Oyo state was used to gather information. A reliability of 0.852 was obtained. One research question was stated and three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 significant. The completed and returned copies of the questionnaire was analysed using mean, frequency count, standard deviation for research question while hypothesis would be analyse using T-test and ANOVA. This study revealed that the teachers’ attitude towards the inclusion of students with learning disability in Oyo state is positive.(mean=3.18). The results also showed that there were no significant differences in teachers' attitudes toward including students with learning disabilities in Oyo state based on gender (p>0.05), qualification (p>0.05), and experience (p>0.05), as well as no significant differences in teachers' attitudes toward inclusion of students with learning disabilities in Oyo state based on any of these factors.
