L'autisme en una escola amb model inclusiu : Factors a favor i en contra

Tenim davant un projecte on trobarem reflectits els resultats d'una investigació duta a terme en un col·legi públic sense aula CYL amb un model educatiu inclusiu. Desprès d'uns mesos de seguiment de dos nens autistes i l'avaluació d'un possible cas s'ha pogut concloure que la integració dels nens autistes és possible, però que segons el cas, la modalitat de matriculació canviarà. Al llarg d'aquesta memòria trobarem la descripció del centre, els diferents objectius, les diferents teories associades a aquest dèficit, els diferents materials validats utilitzats, el procés de seguiment i els resultats. També es trobarà des de quines teories s'ha treballat, sense deixar de costat les conclusions finals.
