Objective:
To describe the prevalence of knowledge about neurodevelopment disorders (NDDs) and the level of acceptance of models of inclusive education (IEM) in teachers.
Materials And Methods:
A multicenter cross-sectional study in Mexico and Central America. A self-report instrument to teachers of basic level on knowledge in NDDs and acceptance of the IEM.
Results:
The response of 511 teachers was obtained. The prevalence of high acceptance of the IEM was 28.6%. Of the 120 teachers who reported having extensive knowledge about intellectual disability, 3.8% were in the lowest percentile of acceptance of the IEM, 19.5% in the average percentile of acceptance and 55.5% of them were in the highest percentile acceptance (p<0.001). Among teachers, a greater knowledge about NDDs was associated with the acceptance of IEM: learning disorders RM 3.76 (95%CI 2.13-6.62); attention deficit disorders with hyperactivity RM 2.24 (95%CI 1.31-3.84) and intellectual disability RM 3.84 (95%CI 2.46-5.99).
Conclusions:
The teaching acceptance of IEM can be favored with greater and better training of education professionals on the different NDDs.
