Improving the Training of Support Teachers in Italy: The Results of a Research on Attitudes Aimed at Students with Intellectual Disabilities.

This paper aims to bring research findings on the curricular teacher’s and curricular support teacher’s attitude toward students with intellectual disabilities. The results bring to imagine possible changes in the current training system that, deepening in-tellectual disability in discipline and laboratory terms, not neces-sarily and intentionally get a suitable space to evaluate and work on initial placements. The exercise of reflective competence, neces-sary to feed a mature self-awareness, is also essential to withstand the possible involutions experienced in school contexts, still far from the inclusive dimension.
