PERCURSOS DA EDUCAÇÃO ESPECIAL NO BRASIL E PERSPECTIVAS PARA A INCLUSÃO NO ENSINO SUPERIOR

Abstract

In Brazil, people with disabilities have been denied the legality of their rights over centuries. Taken as idiots and incapable, these subjects were in the condition of socially excluded. However, after the 1950s, due to the claim this situation begins to be reversed and, thus, the process of social integration begins of people with disabilities. In turn, with the enactment of the 1988 Federal Constitution and with the influence, on a global level, of the inclusion paradigm, the current laws pass to adopt a perspective of inclusion of historically excluded groups. In this sense, this research aims to carry out an analysis of the paths of special education in Brazil, as well as the inclusion paradigm in higher education. In view of this, the methodology was based on theoretical review and document analysis. Thus, it is possible to conclude that, Despite current legislation and the principle of an inclusive society, students with special needs are excluded in an educational institution inclusive. Therefore, in the school environment, inclusion is a process that is under management and that must be continually improved through practices that aim, in a society democratic, welcoming everyone.
