Descortinando olhares sobre a educação especial em um Centro de Educação de Tempo Integral (CETI) no município de Manaus: história de vida de uma mãe atípica

Abstract

The Final Coursework titled "Unveiling Perspectives on Special Education in a Full-Time Education Center (CETI) in the Municipality of Manaus: Life Story of an Atypical Mother" presents research that articulates the author's personal experience, as a mother of two children with disabilities, with an investigation on school inclusion within the Full-Time Education model. The study problematizes the inclusion of students with disabilities in a CETI, highlighting the absence of specific legislation for this context. The analysis, based on authors such as Diniz and Colares (2023), Cavaliere (2002), and Ropoli et al. (2010), reveals that, despite the challenges, the full-time model can offer significant benefits, such as greater opportunities for socialization and continuous support, fostering community inclusion. The research highlights the need for more effective public policies, continuous teacher training, and the dismantling of attitudinal barriers to ensure equity and the right to quality education for all, from the powerful perspective of an "atypical mother" who experienced the struggle for inclusion in practice.
