CRUZ VADILLO, Rodolfo. The “Reasonable” Inclusions in the Field of Disability in Mexico: Inclusive Education Policy. Rev. latinoam. estud. educ. [online]. 2021, vol.51, n.1, pp.91-117.  Epub Oct 20, 2023. ISSN 2448-878X.  https://doi.org/10.48102/rlee.2021.51.1.200.

The purpose of this paper is to study the current policy of inclusive education and its relationship with the issue of the inclusion of people with disabilities (PcD) in Mexico. Its objective is to identify some strengths, weaknesses, omissions, but above all, rationalities that come from or have been produced by the political movement of inclusive education. There is the assumption that the inclusive education policy has been constituted on a type of liberal individual economic rationality, that, even when it has enabled the inclusion of some identities, continues to make others invisible, as some PcD. We conclude that inclusive education is a project framed by the need for social change; however, this idea is limited to its time and the real implementation options. In this way, rather than speaking about inclusion, it would be necessary to talk about inclusivity: it implies a space where no one can position himself as the possessor of the totality of knowledge, it would make possible the meeting between the particularities and the reflective dialogue that would produce specific balances in time, in both, the applied logics and determined practices.
