Inclusão e Libras

Abstract

Inclusive education is part of our daily lives, so we must pay more attention to our students and find ways to help them be included in the school environment. Training teachers in Libras is very important for the inclusion of many of these students, since some use this language as their L1. Training classes would also be welcome, as they would make coexistence much easier. Flexible environments would also be a good option for their inclusion, since some students with special abilities sometimes need their own space to learn better. New concepts of inclusive education must be implemented in our school curriculum, as the Salamanca Declaration (1994) states, "Every child has a fundamental right to education and should be given the opportunity to achieve and maintain an adequate level of learning. To improve these conditions, we can implement some forms of improvements in school education. For example, the implementation of ongoing training for educators. Through this new knowledge, teachers can implement more inclusive teaching strategies in the classroom. In addition, it is important to provide teaching materials in an easy-to-understand format for these students, such as digital versions of the content and audios of the books, so that learning is more effective regardless of the physical or intellectual condition of this student.
