This project focuses on task-based learning for children with special needs, specifically those with autistic or disturbed behavior and an intellectual level between 70-90. The aim is to work on intrinsic motivation through tasks, such as creating a school newspaper, presenting a leaflet for a parents' meeting, helping seniors with electronic devices, and organizing discussions on actual themes. The learning trajectory involves orienting, negotiating, reflecting, and assessing tasks, with a focus on language development. This approach allows for real performance and ownership by the students.
