Welcoming families with disabled children in migratory contexts. Perspectives of integration in Bologna

Abstract

The increasing number of migrant families with disabled children invites to think about welcoming practices and social policies. As the research “Alunni con disabilità, figli di migranti” carried out in Bologna emphasizes, it is necessary that health services and school system renew welcoming practices to answer the rising needs of migrant families with disabled children.

Difficulties and good inclusive practices underlined in the research assume a paradigmatic value and provide useful directions even for other places, considering that there is not a huge number of studies about disability in migratory contexts and that there are no Ministerial guidelines to define proper actions based on “double diversity”.
