O papel da terapia ocupacional na educação inclusiva

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The achievements achieved mainly in the last twenty years are the result of discussions and legislation such as the Law of Guidelines and Bases n. 9394/96 and Common National Curriculum Base, in addition to others that provide guidance for assisting these students. OBJECTIVES: Understand the role of Occupational Therapy in inclusive educational institutions. Discuss school inclusion, the inclusion process and the agents involved. METHODOLOGY: A bibliographical search was used in databases that deal with the topic such as Scielo, Google Scholar and Pudmed using the following keywords: Occupational Therapy, Inclusive Education, School and students with disabilities. RESULT: In addition to the care received at school, this student also receives Occupational Therapy. This professional, in addition to referring children with disabilities to regular schools, must also assist them at school, working together with the school community so that the school inclusion process is truly comprehensive. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Although the work of this professional is of great relevance, his work does not yet occur in the school space. In this sense, publicity is needed to show the contribution of Occupational Therapy to education.
