ADVOCACY AMONG PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND EXCLUSION MECHANISMS WITHIN PRESCHOOL AND SCHOOL: A SCOPING REVIEW
This scoping review draws a portrait of current literature in the field of early childhood on parents’ advocacy against exclusion mechanisms still frequently experienced by their children with a developmental disability in our education systems which seek to be more inclusive. Twenty-two journal articles have been selected, demonstrating that parents face a twofold exclusion process. On the one hand, they fight for their children’s right to an inclusive education and, on the other hand, for their own right to fully and actively be part of the educational team. In order to push back against this phenomenon, one can rely on a model of partnership between families and service providers.
