Based on the principles of Universal Design and Reasonable Accommodations embedded in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), INVESTT sets out to facilitate the inclusion of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) in the regular vocational education and training (VET) system, and support quality and innovation in the VET systems.
The INVESTT research team has now finalised the research paper and produced a Strategy at European level which extrapolates the local findings from Slovenia, Austria, Norway and Belgium to help practitioners throughout Europe develop a teaching programme with a universal design in their own VET context. These findings were summarised in a short dissemination paper, available in English, Dutch, German, Slovenian, Norwegian and Easy-to-read.
The partner schools, on their side, have been implementing the teaching programmes with a universal design for close to a year, and have some very positive feedback which allows them to fine-tune their programme for next year.
