SILVA, Mariane Carloto da  and  PAVAO, Sílvia Maria de Oliveira. Specific terminality for students with deficiency in higher education: practices (to be) implemented?. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.24, e240054.  Epub Nov 22, 2019. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782019240054.

The purpose of the study was to discuss about the provisions for specific terminality for students with deficiency in higher education. With a qualitative and exploratory approach, the data were collected through an interview directed to the coordinators and professors of graduate courses of a federal institution of higher education (FIHE) located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It was verified that the subject in question is little known in the academic environment and that it needs to be studied. Considering its possible application in higher education, the cases should be carefully evaluated through pedagogical commissions, ensuring learning and professional performance. It is concluded that it is possible to develop specific terminality in higher education, including by what is advocated in the current legal documents, since it is necessary to implement actions that allow permanence, learning and conclusion in higher education for students with deficiency.

Keywords : special education; higher education; specific terminality; people with deficiency.
