CARDOSO, Alessandra Andrade; TAVEIRA, Gustavo Diniz de Mesquita and STRIBEL, Guilherme Pereira. SPECIAL EDUCATION IN THE PANDEMIC CONTEXT: reflections on educational policies. Revista Teias [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.65, pp.510-518. Epub Dec 26, 2019. ISSN 1982-0305. https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.%y.50005.
The coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) has brought about changes in the world's economic, political, social and educational landscape. Schools in many countries are closed, some adopting remote classes and / or distance education. As a result, groups that already had degrees of vulnerability, such as students with disabilities, are further restricted by the right to school education, especially in the Brazilian context. In this direction, this work aims to foster discussion between the historical evolution of the inclusion processes of such students and the consequences caused by the need for isolation due to the pandemic, in order to highlight the relevance and urgency of the consolidation of public educational policies for inclusion. For this, we performed a documentary analysis based on a historical overview of public educational policies aimed at people with disabilities in Brazil.
