| Résumé : |
Dr Karen Goldman works at the David Yellin College of Education in Jerusalem and teaches on two B. Ed degree programmes preparing students to become teachers of pupils with special needs, and in particular, pupils with severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties. In this paper, she describes a programme designed to include autistic students with learning difficulties within a mainstream academic college of higher education for 5000 students in Jerusalem. Details are given on how five autistic students are included in the academic sessions with their neurotypical peers and in the general life and facilities of the college. The nature of the support provided, the challenges for mainstream teaching staff and the benefits for all are described. It is a positive and uplifting account and shows that it is often the inexperience of staff with students who are different that leads to their reluctance. As their understanding develops and sensitive support is given, they can see the benefits to themselves and the mainstream students. The author would like to see the model embraced in other places and offered to autistic adults as an alternative to the segregated workshop/day centre settings which are still standard for autistic people with intellectual disabilities. |
