Acesso e permanência de crianças com deficiência em uma instituição privada confessional em Manaus

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the access and retention of children with disabilities in a private religious institution in Manaus, Amazonas. A qualitative approach was proposed for methodological development, enabling us to explore a religious school environment with children with disabilities in early childhood education classes. The main research question was whether teachers were promoting the access and retention of students with disabilities in the school environment. The pedagogical work of Special Education in the researched space would enable the development of knowledge and values ​​that could serve as mediators of the individual's interaction with the world and with differences. This gap is even greater when we consider the perspective of Inclusive Education and the guarantee of the right to education for children with disabilities. Therefore, the pursuit of training in inclusive education is necessary to ensure not only access but also retention of children with disabilities in the school environment.
