“…Certain resources or programmes are believed to be essential to ensure positive outcomes, such as better health, limitation of impact of diseases or impairments on daily life or improvement of participation in specific areas of life. In the context of health problems and disability, meeting specific eligibility criteria may result in access to drugs or treatment [4], access to health insurance [5,6], access to assistive technology [7], admission to a programme [8,9] or access to specialised interventions in education systems [10]. For this purpose, individuals are identified as having special health care needs [11], special support needs in a given setting [12] or belonging to a special group requiring specialised interventions and environments [13].…”

Starting in January 2011, Switzerland will implement a multidimensional, context-sensitive procedure to establish eligibility in education systems. This paper provides a brief overview of the different eligibility-related practices with a special focus on children with disabilities. The paper then outlines the philosophical and conceptual framework of the eligibility procedure based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability. The different components and methodology applied to organise information in the process towards establishing eligibility are also presented. Finally, some observations are made regarding transparent and just applications of the eligibility procedure, and the implementation of this new eligibility procedure.
