Edukacja osób z niepełnosprawnością w systemie niesegregacyjnym – wykluczające czy dopełniające się formy kształcenia

The paper analyses changes in the educational approach towards the disabled illustrated with an example of integrative and inclusive education as well as shows differences and similarities between them. The analysis is completed with a picture of versions of non-segregation education resulting from various educational discourses. Due to a social aspect of the activities comprised by integrative and exclusive teaching the analysed forms of education were treated as a kind of intervention into the process of socialization. The aim of such an intervention is to develop activity competence with pupils and to prepare young generation for accepting people’s differences, mutual coexistence, dialogue and cooperation. The author tries to stress, that the analysed forms of the non-segregation education should in practice be treated as complementary and not as exclusive. Implementation of the concepts of inclusive education, as a direction of the postulated changes in education, which is a result of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, requires changes in all directions. They refer to, among other things: legal regulations ensuring implementation of standards related to organization and offering classes promoting development of pupils with disabilities, changes in the training system of teachers and preparing them for work with pupils with individual educational and developmental needs.
