Question 18904 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mrs. Lise Magnier draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Prime Minister, responsible for people with disabilities, to the education and teaching of young deaf and young blind people. In May 2018, a report was produced on the development scenarios of the national institutes for deaf and blind young people, then a “Together for inclusive school” consultation was launched in October 2018. The objectives to be implemented are numerous to improve the education and teaching of young people with disabilities, particularly young deaf and young blind people. More than a thousand students, or 9.2% of children with hearing impairments and 3.6% of children with visual impairments, are educated in the national institutes for deaf youth (INJS) and blind youth (INJA). According to the report, the usefulness of these institutes is proven within the landscape medico-social but they raise questions about the integration of students into mainstream schooling, the care of sensory impaired children with associated disorders or disabilities and the lack of clarity of the medico-social offer. Aware of these imbalances, those involved in the educational environment for young deaf and young blind people say they want to share their experience in order to improve the taking care of these young people within the school system and helping to resolve problems relating to integration. In fact, teachers of the first and second level of national education admit to having difficulties in teaching and caring for these students with disabilities which have continued to increase since 2006. The INJS and the INJA develop schooling projects which combine different measures to adapt to the needs of each child and actively participate in a more inclusive school. Also, she asks if the Government intends to consult with stakeholders of deaf and blind young people in order to establish a viable reform of the education and teaching of the latter.
