Caminando hacia una escuela inclusiva: relato de una experiencia

Abstract

En este trabajo pretendemos reflejar la diversidad de nuestras aulas, presentando dos breves historias, las de dos alumnos de 10 años, hermanos gemelos, que con una grave discapacidad física e intelectual están actualmente escolarizados en un centro público de Palencia, en un curso de cuarto de Educación Primaria. No se trata de historias ejemplares, sino de la experiencia diaria de educadores que buscan una respuesta educativa acorde a las necesidades de su alumnado. Somos conscientes de que lo que exponemos no es algo extraordinario ni ejemplar, puesto que no debería depender de la voluntad de los docentes, simplemente estamos defendiendo un derecho que creemos tienen todos los alumnos y alumnas: la inclusión escolar.
