Description

In the spring of 1995, a group of parents who had children with special needs asked the Educational Services Program of the Graduate Program in Education at UDEM to open a space for the academic growth and the development of these young people.

Since then, PISYE has grown and become stronger each year. At present, the inclusion program is part of the Education Department of UDEM’s Education and Humanities Division.
