Reasonably customised arrangements have become necessary due to the demand for non-discriminatory and equal participation of all people in an inclusive education system. In an environment of conflicting priorities, inclusive diagnostics needs to find a balance between identifying the necessary aids for specific individuals and running the risk of stigmatising and discriminating. The regionally differentiated assessment procedure for special education needs (SPF), is a magnifier for handling this environment of conflicting priorities professionally on an administrative and education level. The interdisciplinary collaborative research project “InDiVers” focusses by way of a qualitative multi-layered analysis on assessing SPF in regional stakeholder constellations and specific schools of various federal states. To transfer the conditions of success deduced from this analysis which are to be used to shape these assessment procedures in line with inclusive diagnostics, the collaborative research project pursues innovative strategies:

- In regional workshops within the data collection regions, incentives to enhance these procedures locally are being introduced;

- In a co-constructive process including people of all teacher education phases, concepts to professionalise teachers are being developed, tested and formatively evaluated.
