Cognition and inclusion. Theoretical approaches to the development of cognitive competences in adults.

Abstract

This chapter summarizes some introductory findings of the project Cognition & Inclusion. A brief review on five transversal skills, such as problem solving, self-regulation, flexibility, self-determination and creativity, is presented, as well as a summary of main ideas on a data base with tools for interventions that teach these skills to adults with learning disabilities, with the main goals of improving their social participation, entrepreneurship, employability, quality of life and inclusion.
