Educational inclusion in Ecuador begins as a model of education whose purpose is to respond to the special educational needs of people promoting equality among all Therefore, Navarro 2015 affirm that inclusion should be transformed for each case that is presented within an institution, in this way an equitable and quality education for everyone can be achieved, as long as it is governed by the principle of the values of inclusion to eradicate discrimination.Therefore, it is necessary the permanent presence of a Social Worker within an educational institution, to regulate the fulfillment of an inclusive educational model, since his profession is indicated to promote respect for rights and thereby strengthen initiatives for the Non-discrimination to students with special educational needs, whether by teachers, classmates or family members. On the other hand, to this very important process in inclusive education is added the participation of parents of families in the institution where their sons and daughters are preparing, Gomila & Pascual 2015 consider that communication between the family and the School is a fundamental requirement for the academic and personal growth of students with special educational needs and for this the role that the social worker plays within the school must be innovative and transformative to encourage them to participate.
