This essay focuses the inclusive pathways of Assistive Technology (AT) and their contribution to human rights education that, in various ways, articulates social struggles, political and pedagogical actions. It brings to the scene a hermeneutical dialogue that parts from the question about which pedagogical challenges the assistive technology can bring to the conviviality with the differences, considering the everyday forms of oppression and exclusion present in our technological society. Moreover, it aims to discuss the pedagogical tool of assistive technology in the process of mutual recognition, social interaction and construction of learning, to promote equal rights and citizenship. At the end of the text, we emphasize the need to recover the sense of technology for humanity, because only a new sensibility that values the multiplicity of experiences can accept the reflexive reconfigurations of recognition of differences.

Keywords : Assistive technology; Inclusive education; Human rights..
