Abstract

Its an evidence that approaches to the inclusive school are reinforced; holding that students with disabilities have to learn and participate in normal classes with suitable supports, adaptations and complementary services ; even those who presents extensive and pervasive support needs. A narrow collaboration and knowledge and experiences exchanges between special and mainstream schools are needed.

The special school “Aspasim” initiative is in line with this way – process from the shared integration to a full inclusion into the class of students with significant and severe barriers to learning and participation. Finally, functions, proposals, concerns and personal experiences from different involved professionals are exemplified: Class teachers, support teachers, speech therapist and physiotherapist.
