Parental involvement is a key factor in promoting the positive development of a child with ASD who is integrated into regular classes. However, no research has been done in Quebec. The objective of this article is to identify different forms of involvement adopted by mothers in the context of integrating their child with ASD into regular elementary classes. After interviewing eighteen mothers, we made a qualitative thematic analysis as proposed by Braun and Clark (2006). The results showed seven forms of maternal involvement: (a) the preparation of the child entering school, (b) research and knowledge transfer, (c) the participation of the individual education plan (d) the negotiation and claim services necessary for the child, (e) the continuity of learning at home, (f) the investment of time and money and (g) following the child to school. These results demonstrate that maternal involvement in school integration of children with ASD can take many forms with many of these forms not being researched.

Over the past 30 years, the integration in mainstream classrooms of students with a an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become the prevalent approach. Therefore, in Quebec, an increased number of these students find themselves in regular classrooms, which may change the reality of numerous teachers. This study describes the integration of students with a ASD in mainstream classrooms as experienced by elementary school teachers. Data were collected through interviews conducted with fourteen teachers who work in an integration context. Key issues leading to a successful integration of students with ASD emerge from this investigation and are compatible with five intervention targets. These targets comprise: a) the adaptation and diversification of teaching strategies, b) the collaboration between the school team and the parents, c) the addition of professional resources, d) the teachers' training and e) the availability of support programs.

The objective of this paper is to document the mothers' perspective on the school integration experience in ordinary classes of their children with autism spectrum disorder. With regards to the eighteen interviews by mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder integrated in regular classes, we did a thematic qualitative analysis proposed by Braun and Clark. The results presented in this article specifically address the mothers' perspective of the accessibility of services and the school environment in the school integration context.The results show that mothers perceive their children's needs to get access to specialized services (assessment and intervention), which should start at preschool. They also believe that the school's environment must be tailored to the unique needs of their children. These results lead us to believe that the education system cannot adapt his services offered to the children in need with autism spectrum disorder.

In Québec law, the marginalization or exclusion of social rights, such as the right to housing and to an « adequate' standard of living, can deprive individuals in vulnerable situations of the ability to take legal action in the event of violations, and induce a lack of government accountability. This paper identifies and examines the factors that sustain this status quo in constitutional and quasi-constitutional law. It applies a socio-legal perspective and an empirical research framework to the concept of a legal culture of human or individual rights, and uses this concept to appraise the practices, representations and values of two groups of actors : legal aid lawyers and representatives of non-governmental organizations. The analysis demonstrates that the legal cultures of these two groups differ in terms of knowledge and representations of social rights but share many similarities. Significantly, but in separate ways, they create obstacles to the justiciability of social rights and, in so doing, reveal the supremacy of the so-called established or traditional legal system which treats social justice as an a-judicial issue.

Introduction. Persons who inject drugs (PWID) and who are highly marginalized are, like all individuals, called upon to take responsibility for their own health. Method. This qualitative study, inspired by the theoretical framework of symbolic interactionism, sought to understand what health means for people who actively inject drugs. Twenty-six semi-structured individual interviews and two focus groups were conducted with 30 participants. The data was analyzed thematically. Results. While being almost synonymous with the capacity to live, for the participants, health is above all subjective and valued for what it brings to life. It is essentially a resource for functioning, for being autonomous and for achieving self-fulfillment, which also contributes to self-esteem. Participants claim to be responsible for their health and identify several behaviors, habits and attitudes that promote their health. However, demonstrating a broad perspective of health far beyond individualizing dimensions, participants also identified several determinants of health that relate to the environment, society and public policies. As a result, their perspectives point to the limits of health promotion through calls to be more responsible made to individuals and rather stress the importance of focusing on structural factors such as existing programs and policies, support and social solidarity. Conclusion. In addition to dispelling certain stereotypes, this study sheds light on the polysemic nature of health, as much as the ability to function, a state of well-being, a resource as well as a responsibility that can contribute to enhance the value of certain people who are healthy and while it can contribute to discriminate against others who have lost their health. These findings can help guide health and social interventions and programs for people who inject psychoactive substances.

The repatriation of Indigenous objects is usually seen through the lens of its benefit to younger generations. This article explores how cultural and educational institutions in communities collaborate to involve younger generations in the processes of cultural repatriation and transmission. It focuses on projects between the institutions of the Ilnu community of Mashteuiatsh, the Anishinabe community of Kitigan Zibi, the Nika-Nishk research project on the repatriation of Indigenous heritage, and the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington. First, we present the communities and how they contribute to repatriating the means and content of their cultural transmission. We then return more specifically to the involvement of youth in the Nika-Nishk project. As actors in the project, we question the potential of these activities, for the youth concerned, for researchers, but also for museums. How can objects be vectors of intergenerational and intercultural linkage? What roles can youth play in processes of knowledge transfer? What knowledge can be gained by communities and museums from the exchanges fostered by the processes of repatriation?

If ICTs have raised great hopes, it is not because they offer any magic formula. To obtain real profit from these new technologies, it is necessary to have as realistic a vision as possible of their potential benefits and drawbacks. Indeed, they force us to consider cultural and ethical issues even more closely. Evils and their remedies are to be found in culture itself.

This study approaches humour as a real tool for identity recognition, which, although having ambivalent effects, helps to determine the perception and understanding of different societal particularities. But it seems that this relationship between humour and the issues surrounding living together has been little discussed in political science. The main objective of this research therefore is to observe how Quebec comedians deal with issues surrounding ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity. Through a qualitative and quantitative content analysis, the research intends to answer three specific questions. The first aims to identify the different communities that are discussed in the issues analyzed. The second aims to highlight the main stereotypes maintained by the comedians with regard to the various communities targeted. Finally, the third question highlights how each group, that is, majority and minority, addresses each community. To complete this research, we analyzed 76 humorous videos on YouTube, made between 2006 and 2018 in Quebec and dealing with ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity. In the end, we see that Arab Muslims are the main target of comedians during that period. The stereotypes linking Islam and terrorism also remain a recurring theme. Lastly, it seems that the Arab-Muslim community represents a prime target for a majority of comedians, whether they come from the majority group or the minority group.
