Educação inclusiva: a importância do cuidador escolar no acompanhamento do educando com deficiência

Abstract

The work was born from the concerns about the importance of the school caregiver for inclusive education. Based on the experience gained in the development of supervised internships in the Pedagogical Degree course, we decided to develop this research because it is a topic relevant to education, considering that the work of the school caregiver is of great importance and that it does not only consist of to help with hygiene and mobility, but to make people with disabilities included in society. The work is theoretical, of a qualitative nature, of the bibliographic research type. The problem that led to the research was: What is the importance and need of the school caregiver in an inclusive classroom? Due to this problem, we elaborate as a general objective of the study to analyze the importance of the school caregiver in the accompaniment of students with disabilities in inclusive classrooms, and as specific objectives: describe the historical milestones of special education both in Brazil and internationally; to discuss special education policies in the perspective of inclusive education and to problematize inclusive education through the training of school caregivers. We used as research tools for the construction of the work books, articles, magazines, legal systems, as well as the reading of a recent master's thesis that discusses the subject that is still little explored, in which we highlight the importance of the school caretaker in classrooms inclusive. We begin by describing the historical course of special education up to the moment in which educational inclusion in Brazil is proposed. We will address the role of the caregiver as well as the legislation that supports the presence of this professional in inclusive classrooms. We conclude by proposing the need to review the role of school caregivers in order to effectively discuss inclusive education for all people with disabilities.
