The course aims to :

• provide theoretical-methodological guidance and good operating practices,  to understand the educational needs and methods of intervention in the educational field, with regard to pupils with specific neurodevelopmental disorders
• identify conditions of inclusive policies , in relation to the various levels of diversitydetecting the educational and training needs of pupils with serious disabilities, with specific developmental disorders, and in particular conditions of cultural and socio-relational disadvantage.
• understand the essential conditions that facilitate the learning of pupils with BES,  and conditions of psychological and relational vulnerability;
• to practise and apply in a competent way the educational strategies of special didactics that allow to favor the conditions of inclusiveness within the school and the context of daily life;
• to be able to apply inclusive teaching strategies in school and out-of-school contexts (kindergartens, educational, rehabilitation, recreational and social services);
• design and implement psychoeducational interventions aimed at improving the conditions of pupils with severe intellectual disabilities and specific developmental disorders;
• develop models of "networked" intervention that create the conditions for taking charge of the person,  in conditions of school and social difficulty;

The programme will focus on the development of theoretical and methodological content:

• Theoretical meteorological introduction on special teaching for inclusion and BES;
• Assessment of pupils' skills and promotion of well-being at school;
• Methodological interventions and special teaching strategies;
• Good practice in practice: Operational protocols for what to do in specific situations:
• in class with students with BES;
• in class with students with DDAI
• in class with pupils with sensory disabilities
• in class with student with selective mutism
• in class with a pupil with severe/complex disabilities
• Assistive technologies: coe select aids for communication and self-determination
• Parent Training and Relationship with Families: How to Care for Relationship and Communication and Develop Involvement in Educational and Life Project Goals
