Abstract
This paper presents an overview of a situational analysis of inclusive schooling in Spain from the perspective of students with special educ ational needs. The purpose of this work was to learn how young people collectively considered their experiences of school inclusion. The par ticipants—aged 12–19 years who attended six different settings—highlig hted the school community, resources, teacher pedagogy, support and so cial cohesion as germane aspects of their inclusion. Through a present ation of these characteristics, this analysis demonstrates how schools can effectively fulfil the core requirement of teaching and supportin g diversity and, in so doing, how they can incite included subjectivit ies of differently abled students. This analysis is positioned within the climate of economic instability in Spain, which threatens to derai l the headway made towards inclusive schooling via the introduction of severe austerity measures.
