The training of competent
professionals, who in their role as general or specialized teachers, support
pupils in the development of their affective-relational, cognitive and
communication skills, as well as in the acquisition of autonomy, is an
essential factor for the design and the management of inclusive school
processes. In this contribution we investigate the ideas that the students of
Primary Education at the University of Florence have formed concerning
disability and inclusive intervention. Through a short survey and a conclusive
questionnaire (n=264) we aimed at reflecting upon the role that every teacher
plays in creating inclusive contexts and upon the necessity for all future
teachers to acquire skills related to the use of the ICF and the Italian Individualized
Education Plans.
