LE PROCESSUS D’EXCLUSION / INCLUSION DES ENFANTS EN SITUATION DE HANDICAP À L’ÉCOLE

Abstract

The paradigm of inclusion promotes a qualitative way of including children with disabilities in school, and the role of the school environment becomes crucial. School and non-school actors, in a context of inclusion, can choose to work together and implement a process of temporary exclusion from the ordinary school environment by collectively reworking the inclusive norm. This “exclusion / inclusion” process is a subversive, negotiated, and creative process. The symbolic interactionism, the multidisciplinary analysis of the work situa- tions, and the activity clinic are mobilized to analyze this process. This qualitative research is based on observations, interviews, and a collection of institutional and professional documents produced during a socio-anthropological survey.
