Learning unit contents
We start by recalling the main concepts in use in the field of disability and specific disorders in learning. Next, we present successively the ideologies that have founded segregative practices before more integrative practices and today , inclusives practices. The general framework of the Un Convention on the Rigts of Disabled Persons and its implications are presented. The concepts of reasonnable adaptations and universival design are discussed.
The legal and organisational belgian framework and its evolution are approached before presenting an ecosystem and developmental model to guide our practices.
A third part of the lecture analyzes the various integrative and inclusive practices in Belgium and other countries of pupils with learning difficulties or disability, in preschool, primary, secundary and high education.
Finally some instruments to evaluate a process of integration are presented and criteria underlying the analysis are examined.
A more practical part complete the theoretical presentations and students are invited alone or by small groups to work on various topics, by achieving observation and data collection in schools.

Further information:
The assessment is based on a project carried out in groups of 2 to 4 students (depending on the number of enrolled students), aimed at exploring the practical challenges of inclusion through a real-life situation encountered in the field, as well as an oral presentation of this work during one of the last two class sessions.
The written assignment comprises:
- an encounter with and/or observation of a situation involving inclusion, enabling students to gather information on the practices implemented, the difficulties encountered, the needs identified, and the existing or potential adjustments;
- the submission of a brief written report (maximum 3 pages), presenting and analysing the situation in the light of the concepts covered in the course. This report must be submitted via e-campus by Monday 26 April 2027 at the latest (6:00PM);
- the presentation and discussion of the case during one of the last two course sessions, organised as seminars analysing inclusive situations;
- active participation in the presentations by other groups, evidenced by an individual listening and reflection sheet, to be submitted at the end of the two sessions.
