Inclusão escolar: a importância dos cuidadores de crianças nas escolas dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental em Piripiri-PI.

Abstract

Given the historical evolution of society, there was a need to reformulate the treatment of the diversity that forms the social environment. To better address the results of this initiative, the following questions were formulated: How were children with special educational needs viewed in ancient times? How did inclusion in the school environment begin? How important is the importance of childcare providers in schools in the early years of primary education in Piripiri-PI? What challenges do caregivers encounter in this process? Thus, the research's general objective is to discuss the history of social inclusion and analyze the importance of caregiver work in caring for children with special educational needs. To reinforce, it has specific objectives which are to understand the development of inclusion within schools, explain the challenges of the profession and students, and investigate the legal documents that guarantee the functionality of this service. The development of the study was contributed by the authors Mantoan (2006), Silva (1887), Freire (1996), Arroyo (2006), Luckesi (2016), among others. The methodology used was bibliographic and field research, through qualitative analysis. Data collection occurred through a semi-structured interview. As a result of the studies, it was possible to clarify that caregivers are fundamentally important in school inclusion and that the work offers support to both children and educators.
