How the learning space can become an inclusive learning space – Lessons from Europe

How the learning space can become an inclusive learning space – Lessons from Europe [To be presented at CAVA2018, 21-24 August 2018 in Medellin, Colombia. With thanks to Silvia Margarita Baldiris Navarro.] Inclusive education is cemented in article 24 of the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol (A/RES/61/106) which was adopted on 13 December 2006 at the United Nations.

This symbiosis has been somewhat cumbersome and needs fine-tuning. A lesson to be learned by Latin American initiatives. The keynote will highlight a number of European initiatives and access to online free [...]

Enquête – Interactieve Mobiele Spraak/Taal Hulpmiddelen – Spraak, Taal & Communicatie

Momenteel voeren wij een enquête uit met betrekking tot het project “Interactieve Spraak/Taal Hulpmiddelen Voor Leerkrachten En Kinderen”. Dit is een 3-jarig project dat is gericht op het creëren van gratis spraak- en taalinteractieve mobiele hulpmiddelen voor gebruik door leerkrachten in het kleuter- en lager onderwijs. Via deze mobiele hulpmiddelen zullen kinderen met spraak-, taal- en communicatieproblemen geholpen worden om hun vaardigheden te verbeteren met de juiste spraak, taal en communicatie ondersteuning. Er zijn geen goede of foute antwoorden op de vragen. We zijn benieuwd naar wat u echt denkt. Soms zal u het gevoel hebben dat geen enkele van de antwoordopties voldoende beschrijft wat u denkt. Dit gebeurt regelmatig in dit soort vragenlijsten, maar we vragen u om te proberen de optie te kiezen die het beste past / het meest overeenkomt met uw ideeën en ervaringen. De vragenlijst vindt u via deze link: Voor logopedisten: https://nl.surveymonkey.com/r/SPEECH-NLONDERST Voor leerkrachten in het (inclusief) onderwijs (kleuterklas, lager onderwijs): https://nl.surveymonkey.com/r/SPEECH-NLLEERKR Voor ouders van kinderen met spraak-, taal- en communicatieproblemen: https://nl.surveymonkey.com/r/SPEECH-NLOUDERS Bij voorbaat hartelijk dank voor uw medewerking.
