Università Roma Tre

The course is divided into three parts.
The first concerns the historical and epistemological dimension of Special Pedagogy.
The second focuses on the debate inherent in the transformation of school and society from a system centered on integration to one oriented by an inclusive vision.
The third part has to do with the representations of disability mediated by the arts, particularly by movies and novels.
Part of the program is dedicated to early childhood (nursery and infant school) and to applications to educational context for children.
