Professional teams for inclusive education propose members of a team which provides additional support for a child
Professional teams for inclusive education obtain the opinion of inter-departmental commissions about assessing the need for additional educational, health and social support for a child and student
The team for providing additional support to the child or student drafts the Individual Education Plan.
A parent or guardian gives consent for the implementation of the Individual Education Plan
There is space for improvement of cooperation with the local community - local government, parents, health care system, social protection
Local government should financially support the implementation of activities in schools for inclusive education, provision of assistive technology, modernization of equipment and employment of personal assistants
Teacher competences - In some schools, the transfer of knowledge and practice is being carried out through experimental and open classes where inclusive materials are distributed and experiences and advice are shared.
The views of parents and students depend on schools and teachers and on what stance they take and what kind of atmosphere is encountered in the school.
