La participation des parents dans l'école compétente

La participation, tout comme la compétence, sont deux notions souvent prisées dans notre société actuelle. Qui n'a pas connu de sollicitations autour de lui afin de participer soit à la communauté chrétienne, soit aux services de santé, aux services municipaux ou à un club quelconque. Ou encore qui n'a pas été appelé à viser l’excellence par la publicité, par les divers logos retenus par certaines entreprises. En éducation, le phénomène est bien présent et prend sa source dans des origines non lointaines. En effet, c'est avec le rapport Parent (1963) qu'on s'est vraiment penché sur la nécessité d'impliquer les parents à la vie de l’école.

Social participation and interventions supporting teenagers and young adults living with developmental coordination disorder (DCD): results from a Scoping Review

Background: The impact of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) on teenagers’ and young adults’ participation is not well documented. This article aims to synthesize the current knowledge on social participation, which is the performance of an individual in realizing his daily activities and social roles within its life environment. Strategies and interventions to support youths (15-25 years old) with DCD were also synthesized. Methods: A scoping review interrogating three databases and using ‘snowballing techniques’ was performed to identify both scientific and grey literature published between 2004 and 2014. Over 1000 documents were screened and 57 were read in full; 28 met inclusion criteria. A charting form based on 12 life habits described in the Disability Creation Process (DCP) and developed by two reviewers was used to extract data and report the results. Results: All life habits were reported to be affected for teenagers and young adults with DCD, with education and interpersonal relationships being the most frequently discussed. During adolescence and adulthood, new tasks and subsequent difficulties emerge, such as driving. Mental health difficulties emerged as a key theme. Few strategies and interventions were described to support social participation of youths with DCD. Conclusion: Many life habits are challenging for youths with DCD, but few evidence-based strategies and interventions have been designed to help them to increase their social participation.
