Abstract

In recent years the teaching of people with Multiple Disabilities (DM) has been committed to different regulations and international laws that favor the proper development of Inclusive Education (IE). The objective of this study was to analyze the educational situation of a person with intellectual and motor disability from the perspective of functional educational evaluation. To fulfill this purpose, a qualitative approach research was carried out based on the bibliographic review and the study of a case related to an infant with multiple disabilities. The information collection instruments were a semi-structured interview directed to the student's family members, field observation regarding daily and educational skills, application of the reasonable accommodation inventory and supports to identify the needs of the subject to improve the autonomy of the person. It was identified that the infant has several limitations related to socio-educational areas. Based on the findings derived from the diagnosis on the study subject, an educational plan oriented to the needs perceived by the infant with multiple disabilities was developed.
