La tríada de la inclusión
Resumen
Este artículo describe la introducción de un programa de inclusión para niños y niñas con autismo en una escuela ordinaria a la ciudad de Londres mediante un aula especializada de recursos denominada The Windmill. Basado en la Triad of Impairments o tríada de las dificultades desarrollada por Lorna Wing hace más de 30 años: Comunicación, Interacción Social e Imaginación; el autor nos explica en primera persona la proyección positiva de esta tríada en tres componentes esenciales para el buen éxito del proyecto: el trabajo especializado con los alumnos, el apoyo a los familiares y la colaboración entre profesionales. Este nuevo modelo triangular lo denomina “La Tríada de la Inclusión”. Siguiendo este esquema se describen las herramientas de intervención utilizadas en el centro piloto y se dan pistas para la posible creación de un centro de apoyo con las mismas características.
