Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this Teaching Unit, the student will be able:
- to describe the specificities, strengths and weaknesses of students with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders and / or behavioral disorders;
- to recognize these specificities when they occur in regular classes;
- to use tools of observation and evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of students in a perspective of targeted educational intervention;
- to properly develop an individualized learning plan and implement realistic and achievable educational interventions;
- to evaluate the results of its interventions and adjust them if necessary;
- to implement reasonable accommodation in the classroom to allow students to grow in their school environment.

Content of UE

The course content is about the appropriate methodologies for implementation, in ordinary school context, a teaching strategy adapted to students with intellectual disabilities (ID), with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and / or behavioral disorders (TC). The description of learning and behavioral characteristics of these students will introduce the theoretical course followed by strategies that the future pedagogist will be likely to use in their professional practice to accompany them throughout their schooling.What are the effective inclusion strategies and instruction in the general classroom? What are the observations and assessments to be made in the classroom to meet the needs of students? How to develop an individualized learning plan and act wisely, taking into account the specificities of each student? These are the themes that will be addressed in this course unit.
