Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Attention to diversity is one of the main objectives of inclusive education. In this sense, providing individualised attention and the necessary resources to students with special education needs (SEN) has become one of the fundamental pillars of the current education system.
It is also essential to pay attention to the Barriers to Learning and Participation (BAP) that hinder access to this group, as well as to the benefits of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
However, when we talk about attention to diversity or attention to students with SEN, we must pay attention to more ASPECTS, such as family or cultural diversity.
This Special Issue aims to compile research, experiences and reflections focused on students with SEN resulting from complex family histories, learning difficulties or disabilities, among others. We will pay attention to works that focus on functional, family or affective-sexual diversity.
