A experiência da graduação por uma pessoa com deficiência: reflexões para se avançar na inclusão e acessibilidade

Abstract

La experiencia de graduación de una persona con discapacidad: reflexiones para avanzar en inclusión y accesibilidad The quota law provided the entry of many students with disabilities in universities. However, being able to complete the course has not been an easy task for these people. The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of a person with disabilities in graduating from a public university. This is an experience report carried out by a wheelchair graduate. Among the difficulties faced were the lack of architectural accessibility and prejudices experienced, generating disincentive, suffering and isolation. For her, the participation in extension projects with scholarship was shown to contribute to the permanence, as well as to attend transversal training disciplines with the theme of inclusion. The advances made in recent years for inclusion and accessibility in the university environment have been very important, but there is still much to go on for students with disabilities to have a more pleasurable and dignified experience. Thus, the fight against capacitive is urgent in higher education institutions.
