Practical Aspects regarding the School and Social Integration of Children with Special Educational Needs. Difficulties and Pedagogical Solutions

Abstract

The social integration of people with special needs is a complex and ever-present process, and school plays a key role in this. In practice, the social integration process is facilitated by the inclusion of children with special educational needs in school, given the micro-society structure of the school. Adapted communication, awareness of differences but also of potential, training and practice of social skills contribute to the development of adaptive capacity, to the identification and exploitation of means of integration into society. From this perspective, the role of teachers is multifaceted, with some of them facing difficulties, as shown in the research presented in this article. In mainstream education, school inclusion activities may be perceived with varying degrees of difficulty, but pedagogical solutions are benchmarks in their management.
