(Re)inclusão de um aluno tetraplégico em uma instituição de ensino superior

Abstract

The objective of this article is to describe the challenges and experiences of the authors for (re) inclusion of a tetraplegic student in a Public Higher Education Institution. It is a descriptive study, a type of experience report, produced from the experience of the authors that began in 2016 and is currently under development. Data collection was performed based on the observations of the authors about the reality experienced and described in a logbook, which is the target study object. The experience report consists of the description of the history of a student who was quadriplegic during the undergraduate course and his process of re (inclusion) in the educational institution. Several actions for (re) inclusion of this student were implemented: adapted study plans, tutor teacher, monitoring, modular curricular activities, classroom classes and class awareness. There are many challenges, such as fragility in guaranteeing the accessibility of the disabled student, difficulty in changing the organizational culture and difficult access to the technological resources. Our results portray a collective construction adapted to the different actors involved with potential impact to legitimize a receptive, inclusive and legitimate environment, but still in the process of construction.
