Research in the Department of Special Needs Education at the Heidelberg University of Education is dedicated to central questions of inclusive education and participation across the entire lifespan. The focus is on the educational and developmental processes of people with special educational needs as well as innovative approaches in diagnostics, support and counselling. A special profile is formed by the close integration with other special educational disciplines as well as participatory research approaches in which science, practice and those affected work together on solutions.
