Special and inclusive education

a study in the Expeditionary municipal school Wilson Malcher

Abstract

When researching about special and inclusive education, one walks down a path of great discoveries, legal, family, and methodological, one gets to know a world where people’s needs are often not respected, rights are not guaranteed, although in Brazil we have an extensive legal framework, it is observed that in practice, inclusion is not yet a reality, we have schools with no physical structure, without all the professionals needed to care for students, without adapted material and without a multi-functional resource room. In this sense, a survey was carried out at the Expedicionario Wilson Malcher municipal school, where a questionnaire was applied to identify the limitations and to fi nd out how the inclusion of these students in the school occurs. Subsequently, an analysis was carried out to fi nd out what is foreseen in the laws that address special and inclusive education and what is actually applied in school, thus, it was found that not everything that is legal is developed in practice, in view of the numerous diffi culties that the Brazilian education system faces. The research was developed through a literature review and qualitative fi eld research. Therefore, a didactic proposal was cast, consisting of actions that the special education teacher can adopt in the classroom to improve the learning process of the student, then three didactic activities were cast that can be performed with classes that have special students.
