Special Education Training Course

General Objectives of the Course

The Special Education Training Course seeks to respond to the market needs created by international guidelines and also by the most recent national legislation (namely the DL 54/2018 of 6 July), which focuses on building an inclusive school and whose implementation requires the collaboration of a wide range of actors. It is in this context that an individual educational programme should be included in the curricular plan of the class and in the educational project of the school, which refers to a truly participatory process, in which the regular education teacher and other educational agents assume an unknown protagonism until now and whose previous academic training did not foresee. Thus, it seeks to be an option for graduates and masters in education, either those who already have some training and/or practice in the field of special and inclusive education, or those who want to develop new skills that they perceive as useful for their professional practice.
