Abstract

This article analyzes the work done in outside supporting services of the schools in the Basque Country, in order to evaluate the impact of it on the development of inclusive schools. First, we describe the evolution of support services and the profile of the professionals who work advising on teaching of students with special educational needs. We provide a brief review of policy development and some data from the views of professionals themselves included in a study we conducted. Finally, we present some thoughts and practices to analyze how the structure of support services and the performance of its functions affect the possibility of creating inclusive school settings.
