Special Education & Cognitive Rehabilitation according to the Educational Enlightenment

บทคัดย่อ

This article offers an insight about Pampanini’s approach to Cognitive Rehabilitation that forms a part of his Educational Enlightenment, an original and coherent framework of pedagogical theories that he is elaborating since the ‘70s. According to this approach, not only special pedagogical tools and contents are important, but also neurosciences and educational archetypes. This point makes Pampanini’s approach different from a generic approach to psychopathologies through a Language Therapy or Psychomotor Therapy, because it very much emphasizes the importance of the cognitive act (cognition). The guiding question in this approach is: What is the specific impediment that prevents this specific individual with this specific mental trouble to learn this specific item?

            In the article some particular insights about the cognitive analysis of a pedagogical item along with mental retardation, Asperger and group-work pedagogical treatments are offered in a way to facilitate the assimilation and the use of the Educational Enlightenment and the related Cognitive Rehabilitation approach by an in-training teacher and/or educator.
