Inclusion…. What is it? • Inclusive education differs from the 'integration' model of education, which tended to be concerned principally with cognitive and physical disabilities • By contrast, inclusion is about the child's right to participate and the school's duty to accept the child • The school itself changes in order to increase the value of diversity
Inclusion…..why do weneedit • An inclusive school is a school that gives the same opportunities to all students according to the latest guidelines shared by UN and ICF (International Classificationof Functioning). It is important to see it as a challenge and enrichment of the learning environment, rather than a problem.
Who is involved? • Inclusion is not limited to physical and cognitive disabilities, but also includes the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and of other forms of human differences.

The GLO: a groupforeachstudentwithspecialneeds This group, made up of teachers of the class, family and specialized workers in the field, at the beginning of the school year, under the supervision of the Working Group for inclusion, prepares an Individualized Educational Plan for each student, which defines the intervention strategies and criteria for learning assessment. The GLO monitors and documents the student’ learning process all year long.
Plan for inclusion This plan provides different paths for different needs: The individualized educational planning promotes and encourages the personal, social and educational autonomy, limiting as far as possible the dependence of the student with disabilities from the teacher who supports him/her. When they finish school obtain a legal diploma In the case of adoption of differentiated planning all possible connections with the planning of the class will be developed, in order to facilitate the inclusion of the students. At the end of school path the student will obtain a certificate of attendance and competences.
