Cognitive Stimulation: Psychoeducational Intervention in Children with Limited Intellectual Functioning

The inclusive school is built on the participation, the agreements of all the educational agents that converge in it and it is made concrete in the search for the well-being and the recognition of the identity of each student that make it up. Professionals in the educational field have the duty to promote diversity as a richness and non-discrimination for reasons of inequality and to offer programmes, contents and methodologies adapted to their specific educational needs. The Limited Intellectual Functioning is a reality present in the educational context, presenting limitations in cognitive abilities and skills, as well as affective-behavioral and psychosocial problems. As a reference in special education, the teaching, family and social action has a considerable impact on the stimulation of the cognitive functions of each individual. In order to respond to these needs from the institution, it is necessary that teaching and learning achieve a developmental and cooperative significance, both for the learner and for the one who teaches, becoming the pedagogical paradigm that seeks to establish in the education of today's society.
