BETWEEN ILLUSION AND FAILURE: EXPERIENCES OF SUBJECTS WITH COGNITIVE LIMITATIONS

Abstract

In all educative levels there are people with certain problems in understanding, assimilation and development of the academic content exposed at each stage of educational training. This is especially evident at the primary, secondary, upper and lower levels. There are students who live their academic life in a continuous pressure by the demands these levels represent and that in many cases are surpassed and overwhelmed by making formal education itself, a burden on their shoulders difficult to carry and, above all, to conclude. Many of these students will be only statistics that can be visualized in the parameters of school dropout at the national level, but above all, the truncate illusions of children, adolescents and young people in their educational life. Teachers have to make curricular adaptations to be able to support the students in the attainment of knowledge they can understand and assimilate.
