Introduction. The article presents the organizational basis for identifying and implementing the special educational needs of students with disabilities in the interdepartmental model of inclusive education. The full implementation of special educational needs (OOP) in the development of vocational education by students with disabilities and disabilities plays a key role for subsequent professional activity. In the inclusive model of the implementation of the OOP of students with disabilities and disabilities, different departmental structures participate, which should effectively interact with each other. Therefore, taking into account the levels of interaction between organizational structures and various activities when identifying and implementing OOP provides a holistic view of the functioning system, and, if necessary, allows for a more targeted impact on the problem links of the model.Materials and Methods. The paper uses the method of content analysis and systematization of scientific and methodological literature, normative legal acts that determine the direction of the organization of the educational environment in the implementation of the OOP of persons with disabilities and disabilities.Results. In the formed interdepartmental model of inclusive education, two levels are considered: the structural level, which is described from the point of view of interaction between state executive authorities and their subordinate organizations, and the functional level, in which the process of forming and implementing the OOP at various stages of the rehabilitation, educational and professional route of students with disabilities and disabilities takes place.Discussion and Conclusions. When considering the procedure for the formation and implementation of the OOP at the functional level of the interdepartmental model, the importance of implementing such processes as career guidance, psychological correction, interaction with non-profit and volunteer organizations, the formation of a professional career, and interaction with the employer is emphasized. The need for unity and interaction of all elements of the model under consideration is emphasized, which will ensure the full implementation of the PLO of persons with disabilities and disabilities and achieve the final result – professional and social integration.

AbstractThe Italian school system has a long tradition of inclusive education, starting in the 1970s with the first experiences of integrating students with disabilities into regular schools. Since then, legislation has developed to guarantee students with disabilities and other special educational needs the right to individualization and personalization. This article presents the main developments in Italian inclusive education, documenting both positive outcomes and ongoing challenges, especially those which could be of interest for international readers. The article is structured around three relevant themes: the persistent influence of an individual-medical model of disability on school practices; support opportunities and additional resources for inclusion; and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms and their role in the improvement of the quality of inclusion.

Research Results

The principles of inclusive education have been orientating the ways of working with children and young people with special educational needs for many years. Nevertheless, it is difficult to change the process of modifying the teachers’ thinking about a student with disabilities or deficits in the aspect of teaching him in a state school. In 2017, legal acts in Poland were modified to provide psychological and pedagogical assistance to pupils with special educational needs. However, the Ombudsman for Children received many letters from parents of students who gave examples of violations of their rights at school. Therefore, in 2018 a survey was conducted among parents on the difficulties encountered by their children while studying at school. The research results revealed some irregularities both in the aspect of teaching methods which were applied to children and the cooperation of teachers with parents and other specialists. On this basis, it was possible to identify barriers to inclusive education in Polish schools.

The reasons are examined for the disparity between the inclusive vision espoused by Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the reality of the limited extent of inclusion in education systems worldwide. First, the leadership of key senior academics in the field of special education is considered to have been misguided in promoting a vision of full inclusion despite the lack of research evidence for the benefits of inclusive education over traditional special education provision. Second, attitudes toward and the treatment of people with disabilities have a long and complex history, and in this, many proponents of inclusion have been critical of 20th century special education. In particular, they claim that the sorting, labelling and categorizing required by special education have negative implications. Third, educators have been encouraged to imagine a system of education that is limitless, in the sense that all children with disabilities can be included in general education. This is because it is envisaged that general education classrooms will become so flexible that there will be no limits to the accommodation of students with disabilities, regardless of the nature or severity of their special educational needs. Fourth is the issue that deciding a student’s placement for education requires a judgment call and that, since human judgment is fallible, errors of judgment will always be made. Fifth, commitments to inclusion require that educators consider the practical, reality-based implications, whereas this has not been the case for many supporters of full inclusion. In conclusion, inclusion in the sense of students being physically present in general education classrooms is not considered as important as inclusion in the reality of being engaged in a program of instruction that is meaningful and challenging. Therefore, we consider that, rather than becoming extinct, special education needs to continue to be developed, disseminated and rigorously implemented in schools. Key special education strategies and approaches must co-exist with those from inclusive education, in order to provide effective education for all young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

The Right

A child is a member of a vulnerable group in societies. Children's rights are equal for all children and they cannot be denied, because they are a birthright. However, throughout the world, children with disabilities and their families constantly experience a barrier in regard to the enjoyment of their basic human rights and to their inclusion in society. Their abilities are overlooked, their capacities are underestimated and their needs are given low priority. The barriers they face are more frequently a result of the environment in which they live rather than a result of their impairment. The situation began to change only when requirements to include disabled children in the education system were introduced in legislation. Following the example of other countries worldwide, the Republic of North Macedonia introduced inclusion of children with disabilities in the mainstream educational process, because the right to education is a right for all children, including the ones with special educational needs. For this purpose, the Republic of North Macedonia implemented a series of changes in the educational system for successful inclusion of children with special educational needs. Hence, the main aim of our paper is to represent the actual situation in Macedonian schools regarding the problem of educational inclusion of students with disabilities in the regular school system. The research methods are based on document studies and case studies about changes in social and educational policies for students with disabilities and special educational needs who are included in primary and secondary education. At the same time we shall present some guidelines for teachers who work with these children and future directions for a proper inclusion system in the Republic of North Macedonia, because every child has a fundamental right to education and must be given the opportunity to achieve and reach an acceptable level of learning. In this frame, school societies try to support full participation of students with disabilities in areas of their lives on equal terms, conditions, social justice and basic human rights.

Supporting Teachers

Nowadays, a fairly widely accepted idea regarding education is that schools should provide an inclusive environment. However, the process of inclusion cannot be accomplished spontaneously. If such a process is not actively supported, it may contribute to the growth of intolerance, stereotypes, exclusion and school violence. If inclusive education is to become more than merely a slogan, it is necessary to provide support to all involved, including teachers. In light of the research, the self-assessment of teachers’ competencies in educating students with developmental disabilities and special educational needs is relatively low. The article describes possible challenges in making schools more inclusive environments and proposes possible means of supporting teachers in selected areas of inclusion.

Education Assessment

Even if the label special educational needs (SEN) is similarly used in various countries for indicating students with disabilities, the practices and diagnostic criteria leading to this label vary widely. This study aims to clarify the diagnostic process in Austria that leads to labeling. A sample of 169 special needs teachers who regularly write SEN reports participated in the online survey. The survey questions were based on those of a study by Ansperger (1998), who questioned special education teachers writing such reports in 1995–1996. Results show that, although more and more standardized instruments are used, still quite several unstandardized assessments are reported. Little time is available for the assessments, and only few reports include information on future pedagogical/educational intervention. It is concluded that in inclusive education, assessment should be more oriented toward educational intervention to address the diversity in learning needs among students than at diagnosing disabilities.

The ideas of the article are based on the high social significance of discussing the practices of inclusive interaction in various spheres of life and ensuring the variability of approaches to the integration of children with special educational needs into the general education system. On the basis of the environmental approach in education, presented in the works of domestic and foreign authors, the basic principles are outlined and the general difficulties of the functioning of inclusive practice at the present stage are identified. The strategy of applying the vector approach to the examination and modeling of the environment of inclusive interaction and designing ways to improve it for the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process in school is justified. On the basis of the generalized results of the survey of teachers who organize the education of children with disabilities in non-specialized classes, the features and the type of relations that are currently developing in the joint education of schoolchildren with different educational needs during their integration into a single educational space are characterized. Using the methodology of psychological and pedagogical expertise of the school environment, the typification of the most characteristic influences exerted at modern schools on a child with a developmental disorder is carried out. The emerging dominant modality of the educational environment, its orientation to the development of relationships between teachers and peers, based on the priority of stimulating the activity of the individual with different degrees of manifestation of its freedom or dependence, is revealed. The article describes potential capabilities of each of the diagnosed types of environment in terms of its resources for ensuring freedom of choice of activities, stimulating activity, developing students' independence, and forming their personal characteristics. The diagnosed priority of creative and career-oriented orientation allowed us to draw conclusions about the currently established approaches to the inclusion of children with deviant development in the environment of normotypic peers.
