A (IN)ACESSIBILIDADE EM PRÁTICA: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA DE UM ESTUDANTE COM DEFICIÊNCIA VISUAL NO CURSO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO

Abstract

The inclusion of people with disabilities in Brazil shows significant normative progress, but remains marked by a significant gap between legislation and its effective implementation. This work aims to analyze, based on an account of experience, the limits and contradictions of educational and professional inclusion experienced by a student with a visual impairment in the Bachelor's degree in Administration. The study is based on legal frameworks such as the 1988 Federal Constitution, the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (Law No. 9,394/1996), the Brazilian Inclusion Law (Law No. 13,146/2015), and Decree No. 7,611/2011, which regulates Specialized Educational Assistance (AEE), essential for guaranteeing pedagogical resources and accessibility in the teaching-learning process.

The methodology adopted consists of a personal account of experience, articulated with bibliographic research and the analysis of legal provisions. The results and discussions show that, although access to higher education has been expanded, gaps persist in teacher training to deal with differences and singularities, as well as the absence of pedagogical dialogue on strategies appropriate to the learning of students with visual impairments.

Within the scope of the work, the Quota Law (Law No. 8.213/1991) is discussed, which obliges companies with 100 or more employees to reserve 2% to 5% of their vacancies for people with disabilities, highlighting its practical limitations, such as merely formal hiring and the absence of organizational adaptations.

In the final considerations, it is concluded that the Brazilian scenario is still characterized by a "romantic inclusion," in which there is robust legislation, but low practical effectiveness. The study points to the need for cultural change, institutional strengthening, and ethical and committed professional action, especially in the field of Administration, so that inclusion ceases to be the exception and becomes the rule.
