Challenges and perspectives for the educational inclusion of students with ASD and/or Intellectual Disability

Abstract

Educational inclusion as a category that conditions quality attention to diversity has advanced significantly. Advances at the global level have had an impact on the National Education System in Cuba and since the conception of one of an education for all. The care of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual Disability (ID) becomes a challenge in the current conditions. Analyzing the challenges for the full inclusion of these students becomes the guide of this article, developed from the use of scientific methods within the framework of the project "Guidance and education for families and teachers in the rural sector and vulnerable areas for the educational inclusion of children with disabilities." This result is developed on the precepts that educational inclusion not only benefits students with special educational needs, but also enriches all educational contexts by promoting values of diversity and respect.
