CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES IN THE BRAZILIAN EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT IN RELATION TO SPECIAL EDUCATION

This study addresses the theme of challenges and perspectives in the Brazilian educational context in relation to special education. This is an extremely necessary and highly complex subject, because it involves more than just theoretical knowledge, requiring long-term empirical studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Its main objective is to present the challenges and perspectives in the educational context. The work is the result of an exploratory bibliographic survey, covering historical milestones, from the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 as well as current Public Policies. The studies carried out indicate that even though Public Policies conceive Special Education under the perspective of School Inclusion and the right of all to Education, many limitations still persist for People with special needs regarding access to Education in regular schools, as well as in the implementation of quality Education, since, historically, the right to Education of People with special needs in Brazil has been neglected. The considerations made in this study indicate that the main challenges in special education consist of the lack of training for teachers, considering that they need to develop diversified and adapted activities in view of the specificity of the students.
