Deficiência visual nas escolas da rede estadual de Bom Jesus de Goiás-GO

Abstract

Based on the 2010 demographic census data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), 18% of the Brazilian population has some type of visual impairment, and it is necessary to expand the discussions on the inclusion of blind people and people with limited vision in the education network , and understand if this process develops in school spaces, specifically in two schools in Bom Jesus de Goiás-Go, seeking to understand the reality faced by students with visual impairments, in view of the current Brazilian legislation. It is important to understand throughout history the educational evolution that inserts people with disabilities in today's well-known inclusive education, to confirm this research we will narrow the look at the visually impaired person, and analyze in schools with teachers, pedagogy professionals and coordinations schoolchildren. Furthermore, a qualitative research was carried out on the subject, which had eleven high school and elementary school teachers from two schools in the city of Bom Jesus de Goiás-Go, and the Specialized Educational Service (AEE) coordinators of these schools. Given the above and aiming at an effective inclusive education, there must be more public policies and social actions that ensure better learning and make the population aware of its importance, thus removing prejudice and difficulties in relation to people with disabilities.
