Authors: Al-Yagon, Michal; Margalit, Malka
Abstract: The present paper aims to describe the Israeli special education system
historically and currently, as related in particular to the 1988 National Special
Education Law, and to appraise future systemic trends. Discussion focuses on
three major aspects: (a) changes in specia! education concepts and ideological
perceptions, (b) systemic structural changes locally and nationally; and (c)
curricular and intervention perspectives. The conceptual/ideological review
includes changes in theoretical approaches to definitions and classifications,
which influenced implementation issues such as diagnostic and intervention
planning. The discussion of systemic structural changes focuses on the expanding
process of inclusion for children with special needs into the regular education
system and on the growing process of decentralisation in resource distribution
toward local and regional support centres. Diverse solutions are examined to
resolve the enduring major conflict between the need to provide the optimal help
and support to meet the special needs of each individual child and at the same time
to strive for the highest level of inclusion. Developments in curricula and
intervention are described, consisting of revised goals. modified definitions, and
new approaches to remedial education and intervention. including the integration
of new technologies. In appraising future trends, the importance is highlighted of
appropriate modifications in teacher training. student skill development. and
setting design, as well as the evaluating and supervising resource distribution and
treatment efficacy.2001-01-01T00:00:00ZSpecial and inclusive education in the Mediterranean at the beginning of the new millenniumPhtiaka, Helen/library/oar/handle/123456789/189822017-05-30T14:21:44Z2001-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Special and inclusive education in the Mediterranean at the beginning of the new millennium
