“…However, individuals with ID/DD are sometimes easily influenced in a desire to please others (Snell et al 2009), and comments made by assistants and staff members may have unintentionally impacted participants. Thirdly, the majority of respondents to the primary exhibition exit survey were family members and friends of the participants.…”

Imagine if you were offered a glance through the lens of a very unique photographer: a member of your community who has an intellectual or developmental disability (ID/DD). A community-based participatory research method, Photovoice, was used to enable seven individuals with ID/DD the opportunity to document their lives through the use of photography and discuss their interests, hopes and dreams. Specifically, this methodology provided them with opportunities to share their concerns about their community access and communicate with the larger community using photographs and the collective ideas of the group. Common themes were revealed among the participants, including their hidden talents, community membership and sense of belonging, consumerism and making choices, desired independence, limited connections to the community and a desire to be treated as adults. Two themes Á community membership and desire for independence Á are expounded upon, as they appeared to be the most relevant to improving one's quality of life and greater selfdetermination.

“…Polloway (2006) noted that the mild concept has regularly created misconceptions within both the profession and the general population that has had implications for the eligibility of individuals for educational and other supports. Snell et al (2009) referred instead to people with intellectual disabilities who have higher IQs. Nevertheless, mild continues to be used in the literature.…”

There are approximately 800 million young children worldwide affected by biological, environmental and psychosocial conditions that can limit their cognitive development. In Europe, recent estimates place the number of children with special educational needs (SEN) at 15 million. Conservative estimates state that dyslexia, a learning disability that impedes a person's ability to read, affects approximately 6 percent of Europe's population, whilst the prevalence of autistic spectrum disorders is also estimated to be higher than previously thought. Children with SEN frequently leave school with few qualifications and are much more likely to become unemployed or economically inactive. Children with SEN are children first and have much in common with other children of the same age. There are many aspects to a child's development that make up the whole child, including-personality, the ability to communicate (verbal and non-verbal), resilience and strength, the ability to appreciate and enjoy life and the desire to learn. Each child has individual strengths, personality and experiences so particular disabilities will impact differently on individual children. A child's special educational need should not define the whole child. Presented paper briefly introduces different categories of special educational needs and subsequently describies inclusive education as a concept potentially successful for their academic and vocational performance.

“…Sin embargo, esta población es ignorada tanto en el campo de la investigación como a la hora de prestar servicios especializados (Snell et al 2009). Indudablemente la mayoría de estas personas no requieren la atención de un profesional de la salud mental, ni un profesor de educación especial o la atención de servicios sociales únicamente por su nivel intelectual, la asociación de otros problemas, les hace ser beneficiarios de apoyos y usuarios de servicios especializados Las escasas publicaciones existentes se han centrado en el estudio de la prevalencia de la CIL en población general y en pacientes con enfermedades psiquiátricas (Hassiotis et al, 2008, Koenen et al,2009, Manassis, Tannock, Young & Francis-Johnson, 2007Martínez & Semrud-Clikeman, 2004;Puerta, Martínez y Pineda, 2002), pero también en el conocimiento de la comorbilidad y riesgo psicopatológico (Masi, Marcheschi & Pfanner, 1998;Ninivaggi, 2001), en el estudio de pronós-ticos evolutivos (Mani, McDermott & Valtorta, 1997;Zetlin & Murtaugh, 1990), en la asociación con trastornos del neurodesarrollo (Artigas et al, 2007;Futagi, Suzuki & Goto, 1999), en la aplicación de escalas de valoración (Bowen et al, 1996) y en la eficacia de tratamientos sintomáticos (Buitelaar, Van der Gaag, Cohen-Kettenis & Melman, 2001).…”

RESUMENEl término capacidad intelectual limite o también llamado bordeline hace referencia a una entidad clínica compleja que apenas se ha investigado y que engloba a las personas que técnicamente no tienen discapacidad intelectual pero que obtienen puntuaciones de CI bajas, en el umbral de aproximadamente 71-84. Estas personas se enfrentan diariamente al desconocimiento y a la incomprensión de una sociedad que ni reconoce sus limitaciones ni les trata como iguales, y que en la mayoría de los casos, no van a finalizar la escolaridad obligatoria, van a tener graves dificultades para acceder al mundo laboral y no van a participar activamente en la sociedad. El objetivo de este artículo es facilitar información para contribuir a la visibilidad de estas personas, dar a conocer las dificultades que presentan en el ámbito educativo y laboral, transmitir consideraciones para mejorar el diagnóstico y proponer actuaciones que optimicen el funcionamiento de este colectivo. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de los artículos publicados en los últimos años contrastando sus aportaciones con las experiencias de profesionales y familiares.Palabras clave: inteligencia límite, discapacidad intelectual, apoyos ABSTRACTThe borderline: the great ignored The term borderline refers to a complex clinical and under-researched condition that involves people who technically do not have intellectual disability but who obtain low IQ scores (71-84). In most cases, these people do not finish compulsory schooling, they have serious difficulties to access to the world of work, they are not actively engaged in society and they face daily with the ignorance and the misunderstanding of a society which does not recognize their limitations nor does it treat them as equals. The major purpose of this article is to facilitate information that contributes to increase the public profile of these people making public their educational and working difficulties. Also, to point out considerations in order to improve the diagnosis and to propose actions to optimize the functioning of this collective group. To do so, it has been carried out a review of arti-
