ICF-CY on promoting inclusive processes in the educational plans of the Republic of Kosovo

The research-training journey presented in this document is concerned with build- ing a portfolio of documents based on the bio-psycho-social functioning model of International Clasification of Functioning – version for Children and Youth (ICF- CY) (WHO, 2007), which refers to commissions working on developing profiles of growth and development of children who find various difficulties in school (called as Pedagogical Evaluation Teams), as well as schools in Kosovo. The actions taken up to now have allowed us to go beyong portfolio building, thus developing reflections and appropriate practices to support the promotion of a participatory training that aims at a combination of inclusive cultures, practices and policies, aligned with the requests coming from the Index for Inclusion, devel- oped in the United Kingdom by Booth and Ainscow (2008, 2014). In order to better understand the assumptions underpinning this research-training path, it is essential to propose a comprehensive reflection on inclusive education in Kosovo below, in order to then adapt to the opportunities that the ICF-CY model is able to provide for its promotion.
