Integral Development of Students with Special Educational Needs in Inclusive Education from a Personalistic Perspective

Abstract

The student’s right to integral development resulting from the internal dignity of each person is most fully explained in the concept of classical personalism. This right applies to every student, regardless of their age, family and social conditions or cognitive competence. In recent years, an inclusive model of education has been promoted, one promising high quality education to all students in mainstream schools. The aim of the article is to demonstrate the importance of the concept of integral upbringing based on personalism in inclusive education, being that this approach alone guarantees the authentic good of all participants of the inclusion process, without the risk of falling into collectivism or excessive individualism.
