Diversity(ES). Disability, Intellectual Giftedness, and Autism Spectrum Disorders is structured into three parts. First, it addresses intellectual disability from a social model perspective. Second, it explores autism spectrum disorders through a broad, interdisciplinary lens, covering contributions such as those of Fernand Deligny in France and the neurodiversity movement in England. Third, it outlines essential elements for educational work with intellectually gifted children in the classroom.
The book integrates theoretical approaches, epistemological models, socio-educational support techniques, detection tools, evaluation methods, and general educational guidelines for the three cases discussed. It offers a theoretical-practical approach that provides actionable criteria for education professionals. Additionally, it delves into some of the debates and controversies surrounding the cases studied, delivering a comprehensive and highly practical resource.
