Inclusive Education: Keys to Understanding and Taking Action
Responsibilities of educational institutions
Ensure access, retention, and participation of students with disabilities in regular school settings.
Implement reasonable accommodations based on individual needs (PIAR).
Train teachers and school staff in inclusive education and attention to diversity.
Promote an inclusive institutional culture, free from discrimination and stigma.
Coordinate with families and external entities to provide specialized support.
Predominant Perceptions and Beliefs
Stereotypes about the abilities of students with disabilities persist, which can limit their opportunities.
Some educational communities still view inclusion as a logistical challenge rather than a right.
It is increasingly recognized that diversity enriches collective learning and promotes ethical values.
Inclusion is associated with positive pedagogical transformations, although it requires time and resources.
Types of Disabilities in the Education System
Intellectual disability:
difficulties with reasoning, learning, and problem solving.
Sensory disability:
visual (blindness, low vision) or hearing (deafness, hearing loss).
Physical or motor disability:

Psychosocial or mental disability:

What is the PIAR?
The Individual Plan for Reasonable Adjustments (PIAR) is an educational tool that seeks to guarantee the right to education for students with disabilities.
It includes curricular, methodological, evaluative, and physical access adaptations.
It is developed collaboratively between teachers, families, and support professionals.
It allows for the creation of personalized educational paths, respecting the student's learning pace and style.
