Pupil with special educational needs: detection and work for educational optimization

Abstract

It is understood by students with special educational needs, those who require support and specific educational attention due to disability or severe behavioral disorders for a period of schooling or along all their education. This work displays the educational response that the current education system provides for these students from an inclusive framework. There is evidence that there are still some barriers which prevent to care for these students effectively and efficiently. To address this problem we formulate several questions: Is a social issue in changing attitudes? Is it a legislative issue? Is it a training issue and / or an assumption of functions among professionals? Is it an organizational issue? Or is it a question of locating the “guilty one.“? We are convinced that it is a matter of “commitment” and a prerequisite to effectively provide relevant measures. The commitment of all levels and professionals who will be involved in the identification, assessment and intervention and working together, is essential for profitable efforts and give coherence to the work to be done . The requirements are different for each person and will largely be determined by the context. This is why it is necessary to rethink and address the current reality in several areas to reach education for optimizing existing resources. The areas include the conceptual and social development of “s.e.n.”, the legislative front, the organization in schools and training of the current teachers.
