O acolhimento das famílias das crianças com deficiência em uma escola de educação infantil de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

The purpose of this action plan was to seek to accommodate the families of children with disabilities at a municipal preschool of Belo Horizonte City. This work was developed between the months of March to September 2019. The objectives were to bring knowledge and clarification to family members, in addition to showing that the school is not only a space for conflicts and the resolution of immediate problems. The school can be a place of many exchanges, studies, reflections. Along the action plan, it is possible to perceive an approximation and greater confidence of the families of children with disabilities in a school in Belo Horizonte. Together with the school's management and a group of co-workers committed to help, we were able to do much more work than expected. Initially, we provided individualized support to the 16 families of children with disabilities enrolled in our school. We raised the demands of these 16 families through an evaluation questionnaire applied at the beginning of 2019 and, based on these demands, we began our action. Finally, we offer two open events to the entire school community. The culmination of the action plan was the “1st EMEI X Diversity and Inclusion Seminary”, which was a great event involving the parents, teachers and other school employees. We concluded with the certainty of a seed planted in this school. The inclusive education, even though it is a topic of extreme importance, is still the reason for many fears on the part of teachers and students' parents. We always need to talk more and more about inclusive education and constantly review our attitudes in search of a reallydiverse and inclusive school.
