The encounter with the Other isn’t “self-evident” (Jodelet, 2003). Social role conceptions of disability are often tainted with a subjective stigmatizing and limited vision that creates a barrier to “coexistence”. The social role conceptions theory is used within this thesis as a tool for thinking on “educations to”. We will question the experience and the School’s information on disabilities as potential factors of transformation of the social role conceptions of said “ordinary” high school students. Based on surveys, we will define a representative mapping of disability in the high school students group. Then, we will lead an experiment within two years in the « Travaux Personnels Encadrés” (TPE, stands for Personal Framed Activities) class. The experience tends to show that – with the teaching approach of “educations to” an experience with disability is possible within the School, and that it is a potential factor of positive transformation of social role conceptions. However, the barriers to “coexistence” are still standing.}}
