Is SESSAD effective? : A study on an effective service providing system for the children with special needs in France

正如我们所发现的，法国有一个称为SESSAD的系统，在该系统中，有特殊需要的儿童可以在其学校得到卫生部专业工作人员的支持。在这项研究中，作者访问并调查了该系统作为法国特殊教育系统的一部分是如何使用和运作的。通过与法国最大的智障人士父母和朋友协会UNAPEI合作，作者成功地发现SESSAD由多学科团队组成，如医生、专业教育工作者、心理运动治疗师、语言治疗师等。由于它的灵活性，以及它的多专业方法，该系统得到了极大的扩展。我们知道，大约40%的用户是6-10岁的儿童。讨论表明，这一方面对建立群体融合有很大的帮助，另一方面也可以作为排除残疾儿童在课堂上不恰当的方式。我们还讨论了学校生活辅助服务（AVS）以及2005-102年新基础教育法令的影响，其中法令规定所有儿童必须在离家最近的学校注册。

In France, as we have found, there is a system so called SESSAD in which children with special needs can be supported by professional workers of the Health Ministry in he/her schools. In this study, the authors visited and investigated how this system are used and worked as a part of French Special Education System. In cooperate with the UNAPEI, the largest association of the parents and friends of people with intellectual disabilities in France, the authors successfully found out that SESSAD consists of multi disciplinary teams, such as Doctors, specialized educators, psycho-motor therapists, speech therapists, etc. Because of its flexibilities, as well as its multi professional approaches, the system expanded dramatically. We have known that about 40% of its users were 6-10 years old children. Discussion indicated that, in one hand, this would be of a great help to establish group integration, on the other hand this can be used as a mean to exclude children with disabilities in the class room inappropriate way.We also discussed the school life assistant service (AVS) as well as the impact of the new fundamental education low, Loi n. 2005-102, in which the low stated that all the children must be registered the nearest school of his/her home.
