Disability and curriculum: building
social and civic skills towards
disability at school
Nicole Bianquin & Fabio Sacchi
Geneva, September 2021
Italy in 1977
students with + without disabilities in
mainstream schools
in 2010
Italians declared difficulties in interacting
effectively with persons with disabilities
and the belief that disability is a cause of
strong social discrimination and
discomfort in interpersonal relationships
Forty years of school inclusion
So...
What remains to the Italians of these forty years
of inclusive experience lived in the school?
Is it possible to assert that the school has missed
a fundamental educational goal also regarding
the investments in terms of economic, human,
and training resources?
Is the inclusive paradigm under the microscope?
Disability and curriculum: building social and civic skills towards
disability at school
So….
What remains to the Italians of
these forty years of inclusive
experience lived in the school?
Is it possible to assert that the
school has missed a
fundamental educational goal
also regarding the investments
in terms of economic, human,
and training resources?
Is the inclusive paradigm
under the miscroscope?
Disability and curriculum: building social and civic skills towards
disability at school
The core
is not the
questioning of
the inclusive
paradigm,
but the
reflection on
how this can
achieve greater
implementation
It is a call for the educational and planning
professionalism of teachers in inclusive schools
Disability and curriculum: building social and civic skills towards
disability at school
The direction
schools can play a strategic role in promoting positive
attitudes towards persons with disabilities by introducing
the topic of disability in the individual discipline of the
curriculum
educational paths related to democratic citizenship and
education of human rights aimed at building social and
civic skills recognized by the European Union (2006) and
Italian Constitution as fundamental for every citizen.
However, it is necessary to note that these paths lack an
essential visibility in order to be concretely realized,
remaining confined to the sole intentions of the legislator,
as overwhelmed by the curricula of the individual
disciplines (Disability Right Commission, 2005).

disability at school
