Quelle expérience pour les élèves présentant des troubles du comportement et orientés vers une scolarité spécialisée ? Une comparaison France–Wallonie
This article proposes a comparison between the mainstream and specialised social and educational experiences, based on having observed and shared the daily routine of the latter group for an extended period of time. Given that this particular group is cared for differently, its members do not have the same experience of their alienation. If the French and Walloons strive to reach a set of norms in order to shed any labels or stigmata and to delegitimize their specialised education, Belgian youth seems to at least partially accept and interact, socially with its deviant peers, while the French fail to bring them into their ...

Special needs education and inclusion in Germany and Sweden
This article analyzes both the Swedish and the German school systems, focusing on the implementation of inclusive education. The structure of the two systems, the way the categorization processes work, the financing of inclusion as well as teaching models for the realization of inclusion within the classroom are explored. The analysis is built on steering documents and research articles. Although a systematic comparison is not possible, the analysis reveals a different understanding of how to support children with learning difficulties due to the traditions of the two school systems. The different ways of implementing incl...

Removing obstacles to equal recognition for persons with intellectual disability: Taking exception to the way things are
Publication date: Available online 1 May 2018Source: AlterAuthor(s): Anne-Marie CallusAbstractArticle 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities challenges the misconception that persons with intellectual disability, among others, are not capable to take decisions for themselves. This paper first considers the right to equal recognition before the law within the light of the General Comment on Article 12 issued by the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which emphasises the need to move away completely from substitute decision-making and to promote supported decision-making. The import...

Disability art and culture: A model for imaginative ways to integrate the community
This article suggests a turn to disabled people's formations of disability culture, as expressed in the arts, for new ways to imagine community integration. As I look to the arts, I examine not only the representations disabled artists create, but the art-making and arts-presenting processes themselves. I illustrate this argument by analyzing innovations in the integration of people with disabilities in professional concert dance in two American companies: AXIS Dance Company and Kinetic Light.RésuméCet article rend compte d’un changement dans la formation des personnes handicapées à la « culture du handicap », te...

Considering the concepts of the lived body and the lifeworld as tools for better understanding the meaning of assistive technology in everyday life
Publication date: Available online 1 June 2018Source: AlterAuthor(s): Inger C. BerndtssonAbstractThe lives of individuals with physical or perceptual impairments are often filled with various objects that support daily activities and are generally referred to as assistive technologies. These are usually understood as objects relating to individuals’ functional capabilities. In this article, assistive technology is instead interpreted and explored in its subjective and social meaning by drawing on continental philosophy within a framework of lifeworld phenomenology and hermeneutics, putting forward existence, embodiment a...

The extraordinary development of sport for people with dis/abilities. What does it all mean?
Publication date: June 2018Source: Alter, Volume 12, Issue 2Author(s): Anne MarcelliniAbstractPhysical and sports practices represent a dimension of the social history of people with impairments that has become progressively visible, yet still little studied. Through the reading of socio-historical and sociological research on these practices, the author defends her contention that the development, recognition and social visibility of these individuals having been obtained by the sphere of “disability sport” are based on the convergence of two “tool boxes” for innovation: the organization of athlete classification ...
