Dear all,
Thank you for many comments.
I am trying to understand why Article 24 refers only some types of
disabilities relating to the phrase "in environments which maximize...".
I understand that sign language and "suitable environments" have combined.
Still, why blind people are mentioned but not physically disabled? It
sounds irrational because, for instance, wheelchair users need "suitable
environment".
Originally I thought this phrase means special education is - if needed -
allowed to blind, deaf and deafblind, not other types of disabilities.
After more thinking, such interpretation is not rational. Anyway, my point
is to understand why these three types of disability are mentioned when
"environment which maximize" are mentioned.
How the phrase differs from "Effective individualized support measures are
provided..." phrase?
I live in a Nordic country and our trend is towards integrated education
with support measures. Older, traditional special schools still exist and
these are more resource centres.
I am thankful if anyone could try to explain why the word "environment"
has written twice if there is any exact explanation. I do not assume it is
a mistake of drafters? Is it a result of strong lobbying from WFD and WBU?
What was the purpose?
Regards,
Riku
