IN-PERSON: Learning. Life. Work
Abstract
International conventions define disability as an evolving concept, that results from the interaction of people with a context, that generates attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinder their full and effective participation in society on equal terms with others. This definition has made it possible to focus on the interactions between various factors. As a result, an interactive approach has emerged that considers the role of the family and the school as fundamental in the construction of an inclusive society. Children and young people forge at home, the primary socializing nucleus, attitudes, values, norms, communication skills and conflict management styles that train them to understand the world and act in it. For this reason, a questionnaire around disability has been designed and answered by 1,480 families of Catalan schoolchildren (Spain) with the aim of detecting patterns, shortcomings and needs to integrate this diversity. Data indicate, for example, that 69% of the participants recognize the rights of people with disabilities, and that the fact of having suffered discrimination is a relevant factor when reporting the situation of segregation due to disability (82.5%). Considering the results of the study, guidelines up to facilitate communication tools about disability in the family sphere were drawn. Regarding the school, the possibility of using the Booth and Ainscow Inclusion Index to build collaborative school communities that promote high levels of achievement for all students is highlighted.
