ABSTRACT
This work aims to understand the acquisition
of rights by people with special educational needs and how they should and can
be meaningfully integrated into the teaching-learning process. It also explores
how schools can play an important role in advancing the fight against exclusion
by welcoming them, providing effective conditions for learning, and developing
their potential. The research provides a brief history of people with special
needs over the years, how the process of change has unfolded, and how laws have
effectively contributed to progress in integrating these students into schools.
A significant conclusion was reached, considering that change must begin with
the implementation of new educational policies that demystify the concept of
difference as invalid and promote the supremacy of difference as natural in
every heterogeneous society, which, by its very nature, tends to mask reality.
Special education should be approached from a pragmatic perspective, in which
the development of public policies geared toward the target audience in
question proves effective. There's no point in creating actions that appear
positive in theory but prove useless to the individuals who need them, or even
if teachers are unable to implement the procedures in their teaching practice.
Keywords: Educational inclusion. People with special needs. Learning. Integration.
