The Perceptions of Inclusion Questionnaire (PIQ) is a reliable, valid and very economical instrument to capture three central dimensions of subjectively perceived inclusion in school: emotional well-being in school, social inclusion in class and the academic self-concept.

For whom

The PIQ consists of 12 items and is generally recommended for students in 3rd to 9th grade. The PIQ is freely available in several language versions in three forms respectively: for students, for parents or primary caregivers and for teachers. Notes on the origin and the development of the PIQ can be found under history.
