Abstract
The studies carried out by the research programmeTowards Inclusive Mathematical Education focus on educational setting in which students with non-typical development,due to cognitive, sensory, physical or social conditions, are present. In this article, we present some theoretical aspects that have come to frame our position relative to Inclusive Mathematics Education and that have emerged from the analysis of studies carried out for more than a decade with disabled learners.The points raised in this article are organized around four recurring themes pointed out as “challenges to be negotiated” by students and teachers involved the inclusion of students targeted by Special Education –normalization, the structures of the educational system, the hegemony of the symbolic and interdependence. In the last part of the article, we present excerpts from interviews with teachers and students, which illustrate the perspective developed by our group.
