4.4 WBL with people with disabilities or different needs
4.4.1 Introduction and contents

This subject is treated differently throughout the EU, we will try to give information, ideas and suggestions valid on the territory covered by the partners. The ASL is an excellent opportunity for inclusion for children with disabilities and is closely linked with post-diploma orientation. This experience for disabled students must be planned and planned taking into account the specific needs of these students. In reality, the alternation of school work for these students represents an indispensable experience to complete the integration process. However, this is only possible by identifying choices that are consistent with the attitudes and specificities of the children. Otherwise it becomes a mere formal act and a great missed opportunity. The method of implementation of the alternating training course depends on the type of deficit, the psychophysical condition of the student and the program he / she followed. In some countries it is mandatory for companies to hire a disabled person a certain number of employees, so it is important to train this future employee in the same environment in which he will work. It is important to identify the students who will perform ASL and size the experiences of ASL, designing them in a manner consistent with the specific needs of the students. Real integration is possible, for the benefit of both the worker and the company, transforming the hiring of disabled people from a possible legislative obligation into an opportunity to be valued and made productive. For this to happen, the insertion at work must be a process in which attention is paid to aspects of various kinds (organizational, technological, logistic, human, ergonomic, etc.). In the following paragraph we will deal with the theoretical and practical aspects of this aspect of the ASL.
