A coordenação pedagógica no processo de inclusão de uma criança com deficiência

Abstract

This work tried to understand how the pedagogical coordination can contribute to the inclusion of a child with disabilities in a kindergarten in the region of Venda Nova, city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Acting in the function of general coordinator, the author asked the following questions: how to organize processes of teacher formation, how to organize the teacher's work articulating together with director, vice-director and shift coordinators? How to help teachers with disabled kids in their classroom? In the attempt to elucidate this and other questions, concepts like early childhood education, pedagogical coordination and inclusion were studied and debated with teachers. We studied about autism too, which is the disability present in the child that was focus of this research. The action plan was developed as it follows: texts were made available in the teacher's room for studies in their project time. We debated the content of the texts and created an Individual Development Plan (IDP), to be applied in the classes with disabled kids. Together with the teacher from Specialized Educational Support, we developed a workshop to manufacture materials. Finally, we invited parents, teachers and speakers to resume the Parent's School event and together with the community, debate topics related to inclusion. After the interventions, we noticed a change in the language and behaviour of teachers in the presence of a disabled kid. We also noticed that the IDP facilitates the inclusion of disabled kids because it is a document that puts together informations, evaluations and the development of the student. The document also registers the activities promoted to help the children in the acquisition of skills. The materials made at the workshop became support for the children with disabilities. In the Parent's School, there was a significant participation and a deep and broad reflexion on this year's topic of institutional project in EMEI Itamarati: inclusion. Regarding Beatriz, the main subject of this work, her family resumed the search for specialized support. Up to the end of the intervention, her family was almost getting a free pass and a Benefit of Continuous Provision, given her autism diagnosis.
