The
legal and regulatory framework for handicapped children or adolescents has
made it possible to set up a coherent system favouring the convergenceof
initiatives and resources committed to the integration policy. However,
some difficulties may delay the implementation of this policy
- the dual character of the supervisory administrations and methods of financing
introduces great complexity into the relations between institutions or personnels
of very varied status,
- the process of regional decentralisation and administrative deconcentration
have changed the centre of decision-making,
- budget constraints,
- different professional cultures may harm the necessary dialogue which
must be created between teaching, educational, rehabilitation,or care personnel.
Despite these difficulties,
the school integration approach has clearly been started, especially as
it appears essential in the process of social and professional integration
of the handicapped. Moreover, this approach has implications that go way
beyond the population for which it was designed.
Indeed, by calling
on education to organise a curriculum for pupils with the most serious
deficiencies, the integration approach encourages the rethinking of the
reception of all pupils, especially those in difficulty. In fact, educational
integration is not an end in itself, but constitutes a major social challenge.

Aperçu sur
l'intégration scolaire
Le cadre législatif
et réglementaire destiné aux enfants et adolescents handicapés
a permis de mettre en place un dispositif cohérent favorisant la
convergence des actions et des moyens engagés dans la politique
d'intégration.
Cependant certaines difficultés peuvent retarder la mise en uvre
de cette politique :
- la dualité des administrations de tutelle et des modes de financement
introduit une très grande complexité dans les relations
entre les institutions et les personnels, de statut très divers,
- les processus de décentralisation territoriale et de déconcentration
administrative ont modifié les lieux décisionnels,
- les contraintes budgétaires,
- des cultures professionnelles différentes peuvent nuire au nécessaire
dialogue qui doit être instauré entre les personnels enseignants
, éducatifs, rééducatifs ou soignants.
Malgré ces difficultés, la démarche d'intégration
scolaire s'avère clairement engagée, d'autant qu'elle apparaît
primordiale dans le processus d'insertion sociale et professionnelle de
la personne handicapée. Elle a en outre une portée qui va
bien au-delà de la seule population à laquelle elle était
destinée :en effet, en appelant l'Ecole à aménager
en son sein les curricula des enfants présentant les déficiences
les plus graves, elle l'incite à repenser l'accueil de tous les
élèves, en particulier des élèves en difficulté.
En fait, l'intégration scolaire n'est pas une fin en elle-même,
mais elle constitue un enjeu social majeur.
