Abstract

ABSTRACT


This research is included in a larger project called "Madrid without barriers: disability and social inclusion" whose main objective is to analyze the III Plan of Action for Persons with Disabilities 2012-2015 in the Community of Madrid and contribute to the development of a future Plan. The objective of the study presented here is to collect the opinions of professionals from different educational areas regarding this III Plan, as well as to highlight the actions that, from their point of view, are priorities to facilitate the transformation of schools so as to be more inclusive. A fundamental reference for this work is General comment Nº. 4, Art. 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN.CDP, 2016). 103 professionals from the Community of Madrid have participated in this study, and they have answered a questionnaire with open and closed questions. The results show the positive and negative aspects of the Plan perceived by these professionals (e.g. related to their dissemination, coherence and contribution to a more inclusive education system) and the action proposals related to the regulations, the support given to the centres and social awareness.
