Un estudio cualitativo sobre la respuesta educativa a las dificultades de lenguaje

Our main interest in this study is to know how the education response is implemented in pupils, in Infant and Primary Education, with language difficulties but without other difficulties associated. In accordance with the qualitative research, we will describe the process we have followed, the techniques used for the collection of the information and the procedures used for its analysis. On the one hand, we try to give a description of the present situation of this response and, on the other hand, we try to offer proposals for improvement appropriate to this reality. The results show, among other aspects, that the education practice follows a clinical work model and that many children do not get an education response. Also, families and professionals start from vague conceptions of language and its difficulties. The teachers in Infant and Primary Education as well as the speech therapists admit they have little training to deal with language disabilities in the classrooms.
