Abstract
For the effectiveness of educational inclusion, it is necessary to meet the student’s individual needs. Thus, the harmonious work of the multi and interdisciplinary team is fundamental in terms of student assessment and decision-making, related to the student and the institution. Therefore, everyone involved in this process needs to pursue the same goals, based on the same approach, using the same language. How can the assessment of the functional profile of students with special educational needs, carried out by the multidisciplinary team, directly contribute to decision-making and institutional and individual guidance, from an inclusive perspective? This investigation aims to translate, make the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of a tool to assess the functional profile of students with SEN to promote inclusion. It is a methodological study with its theoretical, experimental, and analytical axes, with quantitative and qualitative approaches.
