DIACRONY AND SYNCHRONY OF THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (SEN)

Summary/Abstract: This study analyzes the very complex issues of people, especially children, with disabilities and their education. Children with disabilities make up about one third of the children outside school, generally in the world. The diachrony and the synchrony of the education of people with disabilities represent a challenge for society and school. The vision about these people (expressed in terminology and definitions), the way of identification, assessment and orientation, the institutions and mechanisms that intervene here, the general, political, economic and cultural aspects and priorities of a certain society, the dominant values in the education system, etc. – are a few of the elements that differentiate the access and school participation of these people – from one country to another. The educational inclusion and integration of children and the special educational needs (SEN) are one of the important objectives of Romanian education. The school institution as a whole must extend its educational aims in order to orientate towards the great diversity of children. It is necessary that education, in its capacity as a service provider, should adapt to the needs of the children, and not vice versa. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all children have access to education within the community, education that is appropriate, relevant and effective.
