Good Practices Towards Inclusion, Activity and Participation of Children with Complex and Intense Support Needs
| Resumo: | Children with multiple and complex disabilities are often relegated to passive, institutional care. To promote inclusive and active lives, a European collaborative group (care providers, parents, trainers) developed an in-service training framework and defined good practices, aligning with the UNCRPD. A four-stage international Delphi procedure, involving local professionals and parents, established criteria for good practices enabling participation and activation, and identified responding examples. Fifty-nine participants (professionals and parents) from eight EU countries selected 12 quality criteria (e.g., quality of life, inclusive learning, family-centeredness, teamwork). They nominated 29 projects meeting five or more criteria. The examples demonstrate that children with severe multiple disabilities can achieve meaningful inclusive education and activities, provided adequate support and staff/parent understanding of how to deliver it. |
