O atendimento educacional especializado de alunos com deficiência intelectual em uma escola de ensino regular

Abstract

This work was developed from our curiosity to understand the functionality of the Specialized Educational Assistance - SEA, specifically the one directed towards students with intellectual disabilities. In order to do so, we sought theoretical knowledge about Special Education as a whole, from its beginnings and its different stages, through the establishment of the inclusion policy and, with it, the implementation of the Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA) and the specificities of the target population: people with intellectual disabilities. We set as our objective to analyze the care of students with intellectual disabilities in the room of multifunctional resources, where SEA is developed, through participative observation and interview. The observations were informal and the interview with open ended questions. The data showed that one of the main factors to perform a good job is to carry out a planning that respects the specificities of the students, as well as the specific training of the teacher to act in the multifunctional room, since it allows her to do what is more appropriate to the needs of students with disabilities. We consider this research to be relevant, since it has generated data that allows for reflections to improve the process of development and learning of students with intellectual disabilities in schools.
