Abstract
The inclusive culture of a school organization is mediated by the beliefs and values that its members identify with, which in turn promote particular practices. Several authors emphasise that the attitudes and perceptions held by the community regarding inclusive education have an impact on the success of the inclusion process in their context. The present study aims to identify the perceptions of inclusive culture and practices of an academic community, in a school that implements inclusion policies. 71 community members participated, by filling the scales of culture and inclusive practices from the index for inclusion (Booth, Ainscow, Black-Hawkins, Vaughn, & Shaw, 2002), as well as a semi structured interview on the same dimensions. Results allowed us to identify that community members have similar perceptions of the institution’s inclusive culture. However, statistically significant differences were found between community member’s perceptions over inclusive practices. The parents of children with disabilities perceive less inclusive practices than other members of the community
