      The 1st Special Nursery school of Patras is a school setting for children with special needs, aged from 4 to 7 years old. Namely, here are pupils with learning difficulties, mental problems, autism and other handicaps. Also, the school setting is situated in a socio-economic disadvantaged area. It's in a poor neighborhood and many of the students are children of unemployed parents or/and immigrants.   

      A core area in the Curriculum of the Special Nursery Schools of Greece, is the part that has to do with the right of all children to receive equal education. The start point in teaching core curriculum subjects as: auditory memory, fine coordination, match, sensory education, hands-on experiences can eliminate the obstacles for the special children to be educated equally. We have a good experience on the subject of the application, as we teach equality every year and we have a lot of educational materials related to this subject. Yet, it is more to learn from each other through  projects and exchange good practices.

      CEIS is a private school that offers a public service.
    Ceis (Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, ITALY), is a School born in 1947 in Rimini.
    The aim of the school is to educate children, in particular those affected by disabilities or having social and family problems, often excluded by the educational process.
   In Nursery School (Kindergarten) there are 112 children and 15 teachers and educators. We have three mixed groups, called "Aula Rossa, Aula Gialla e Aula Verde", of 28 children each: in each group there is a SEN child and, possibly, an extra child with severe disability who requires an educator all through the school day.
    In each mixed group there are children of the three different age groups: 3, 4, and 5 years old. The teachers of Ceis have always been free to discuss and choose among techniques, materials, aids they find useful for their work, in this way are always used innovative methods of teaching.
   Ceis is deeply convinced that inclusive education brings to a better education for all: teachers who are sensitive to the Special Educational Needs (SEN) of some students can develop more "strategies" to teach everyone, they study more (to know many ways or approaches), discuss more (to correct, exchange, try something different or new), feel more involved.
