Legal Definition of SEN	There is no established term in France which refers to the population of children who benefit from specific measures defined on the basis of special educational needs: the terms used (disabled children, non-adapted children, which covers different types of situations) are all very specific, linked to certain connotations and marked by a historical situation. According to the law n° 2005-102 of February 11, 2005 for equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of disabled persons: “according to the definition of the present law, a disability is constituted by any limit on activity or restriction on the participation in social life endured by a person in his or her environment due to a substantial, durable, or permanent alteration of one or several physical, sensory, mental, cognitive, or psychic functions, to a multiple disability or to a disabling health problem.” The CDA (Commission on Rights and Autonomy), referring to the list of deficiencies, disabilities and disadvantages (order or January 9, 1989) and to the guide table (decree no. 93.1216 of November 4, 1993) will take a decision on the degree of deficiency and on the educational, therapeutic, material, and human assistance that can be provided to the disabled person. As for children and adolescents recognised as ill, decisions concerning admission to and release from medical institutions are based on a medical decision.
