Itinerários formativos de uma aluna com paralisia cerebral: uma narrativa autobiográfica do processo de inclusão

Abstract

The entry of people with disabilities in Institutions of Higher Education is a reality present in the Brazilian educational context and the arrival of these students with special educational needs reveals an educational context that requires a new attitude from the university that proposes to be inclusive. This context reveals the importance of discussing the issue of structural and methodological preparation of these institutions, to enable inclusion based on respect for people with disabilities and, above all, on teaching that promotes diverse educational, social and professional opportunities. In this context, the objective of this work is to narrate the history of school and university inclusion of the first student Cerebral Palsy at Campus UFERSA / Angicos, highlighting the perspective of the student with disabilities, of the subject participating in the process. This graduation work, is an autobiographical narrative that starts from the student's memories, from looking at herself as an agent of this inclusion process, through which we can understand in more depth the process of inclusion of a student with disabilities in school and in an undergraduate course in an indoor campus. The writing of this work showed that the school and the university were the best environments for learning and overcoming, as it was where I developed intellectually and professionally. But one of the greatest learnings was to deal with the prejudice that arose in every way, which strengthened me even more in the struggle to realize that the fragility of a person with Cerebral Palsy is in what others impose.
