 What Roles do Teacher Aids Play in an Inclusive Context? Key Points and Issues 
This paper stems from the results of a meta-synthesis which had as main objective to produce new knowledge on the operationalization and implementation conditions of more inclusive practices in schools. In addition to the results relating to the contributions and limits associated with inclusive practices, the central role of collaboration within inclusion and the importance of the leadership of the school principal in this regard, a number of texts analyzed highlighted the role sometimes clearly defined, sometimes intuitive, of the teacher aid. This paper aims to explain the contributions and limits of the teacher aid in an inclusive context, both in his relationship with the students he works with and the teachers he supports.
