VERDUGO ALONSO, Miguel Angel; GOMEZ SANCHEZ, Laura Elísabet  and  RODRIGUEZ AGUILLELA, Alba. Inclusão e qualidade de vida na educação do alunado com deficiência. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.33, pp.221-236. ISSN 1981-0431.

The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical and critical review of the concepts of inclusion and quality of life in the ambit of education for people with disabilities. For that purpose, we will start by briefly presenting the evolution of the situation and the educational principles in Spain during the last years. Next, we will provide evidence of the progress in inclusive education in our country, as well as the paradoxes and problems that have been recently found in its implementation by the different social agents involved in this process: students with disabilities, relatives and professionals. This evidence shows the need to relaunch the real and right implementation of the inclusive process. Finally, the “Quality of Life” model is suggested as an agent of change and innovation in the school.

Keywords : Inclusive Education; Quality of Life; Intellectual Disabilities; Special Educational Needs.
