She writes the following about the TAE project:

"It is a great opportunity for our Italian research team to share our experience in educational and scholastic good practice with other countries. In addition, it is also an important time to learn from our foreign colleagues about different points of view on the inclusion of pupils with autism. This is the only way to make a new path for European inclusion."
