Be careful not to malattia.Considerazioni on statements by the President of the Province of Udine This letter was published in the "by mail and by e mail" Messaggero Veneto of November 1, 2010.
Messaggero Veneto Read the October 23 "Fontanini: separate classes for the disabled," left me speechless. The only good thing about those statements, as noted by the governor Tondo, you have raised a real problem with arrogance. This incident prompted me some thoughts, also mindful of past and present battles that I and my wife we \u200b\u200bare forced to fight has always been to respect the rights of our son, a young man with disability. Often, politicians, administrators, as well as several "experts", not by focusing on people, rather they tend to identify with their illness, problems or genetic abnormality. I believe that the core issues in question have respect for the person and his dignity and the protection of rights. E 'need to support a cultural change aimed precisely to protect the rights and the promotion of quality of life and not in a compensatory, obsolete, in theory, by law, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities etc.., aiming at the inclusion of school social work and disabled people, and certainly not to their ghettoization as proposed by the President of the Province of Udine. To return to the topic of school, I will touch on the subject "Aide". Of course it is very appropriate that it is specialized, but I believe it is not enough. Let me explain by using a slogan dell'Anffas of which I am a member. To do a good job a teacher, and I am not referring only to those of support, must be able to integrate "the heart and mind": the reason is from technical competence, the heart of the motivation, the sensitivity, the ability to relate, the willingness to listen and creativity. Do not forget that, contrary to what often happens, the teacher's role is to support not take the child with disabilities and work with him outside the classroom, but rather to broker and support for the entire class, perhaps working in small groups. Daniela Beltrame, head of the Regional School, said in Friuli Venezia Giulia, support teachers in the current year have been increased by 18 units, and we need to build a network between all the parties that orbit the / a student with disabilities (health service, schools, local governments, households, etc.) to harmonize the skills and find concrete solutions to individual needs. In contrast, however, the reform Gelmini, decreased teacher curriculum and teaching staff, and class sizes have increased, in parallel with learning difficulties and social and cultural diversity. All this makes it much harder job training and education in the school, by definition, you should be doing. The first to suffer from this situation are the students with disabilities, but will suffer all the children who see the benches soften the sacrosanct right to education and to take advantage of the opportunity, training very well if accompanied, to confront peers with disabilities and social diversity. It 'is now universally recognized that disability is expressed differently according to which the disabled person's interactions with others and the environment in which they live. Which translates into: more unfavorable evidence, the greater severity of disability in the expression. And 'everyone's responsibility to reduce the disabling factors in the contexts of life and there is no doubt that the insulation is one of them. Prof. Fontanini, first as a teacher and then as President of the Province, more than others should know and practice these basic concepts of civil life. We should be proud to be part of a state that has abolished the special class since 1977, although in practice Udine survived until the early 2000s. On this rampart, hard won, which puts us among the civilized countries culturally advanced, going back would be intolerable.
