Limites e possibilidades do Atendimento Educacional Especializado numa escola de tempo integral

Abstract

This work presents a discussion about the organization of SEA (Specialized Educational Attendance) work in a Laboratory School organized full time, realizing several potentials and limitations, which need to be discussed and matured among the entire school community. At the same time, it is necessary to produce knowledge to provide the Legislative Branch with elements that can contribute to the proposal of laws that favor de facto SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) students, especially when it comes to children with special needs, who spend most of the day in the school environment. The methodology adopted was the Participant Observation, in which the actors/authors are directly involved in the problem presented. As a conclusion, it is considered that Brazil is still in an initial process of discussion for the construction, implementation and consolidation of SEA in schools, despite the Brazilian’s relative antiquity of the legal obligation to offer this educational modality.
