Recognise the Diversity of Learners with Disabilities and
01 Special Educational Needs
It is essential to acknowledge the diverse abilities and needs of learners rather than
treating people with disabilities or special educational needs as a homogeneous group.
To achieve fully inclusive and accessible education, the full spectrum of diversity among
learners must be addressed. However, attempting to target too many diverse groups
with a single tool may reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to tailor
educational practices to the specific needs of learners. This requires the active
involvement of the target group throughout the entire development and
implementation process of tools and practices.
02 Ensure Rigorous Evaluation of Inclusive Tools and Practices
Throughout the A.M.O.R. project, 72 good practices were evaluated by project partners,
revealing variations in observations and interpretations of comparative indicators. This
highlights the importance of assessing tools and practices with input from a diverse
range of stakeholders, including representatives from the target group(s), and testing
them in different educational contexts. Furthermore, it is essential to consider
fundamental accessibility requirements—such as internet connectivity for digital tools—
during the evaluation process to ensure that inclusion is meaningful in practice.
03 Raise Awareness of Existing Inclusive Tools and Practices
The A.M.O.R. project demonstrated that many effective tools and practices already exist
to promote inclusivity and accessibility in education. However, greater efforts are
needed to raise awareness of these resources so that educators and institutions know
where to find them and how to implement them effectively. This will help avoid
unnecessary duplication of efforts and encourage knowledge-sharing and best practice
exchange. Additionally, information about these tools should be more easily accessible,
with clear guidance on where to seek support. Increasing awareness will also contribute
to broader public understanding of disabilities and special educational needs, fostering
dialogue and promoting inclusivity.
