Abstract

ASSUNCAO, Marhla Laiane de Brito et al. Health Care for the Person with Disability and the Initial Training of the Health Professional: what Is Between Us?¹. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.2, pp.327-342.  Epub May 11, 2020. ISSN 1980-5470.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-65382620000100008.

The process of training the health professional has changed in the search to educate professionals with an integral vision and who propose changes in the society. Within this context, the health of people with disabilities deserves to be highlighted, given that these people have more access barriers to the services provided by these professionals, such as communication difficulties, professional empathy, architectural, instrumental barriers, among others. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how two public universities discuss the health of the person with disability within the curriculum of the health professional. For this, we analyzed pedagogical projects of eight health courses. We concluded that the projects analyzed do not guarantee an integral training regarding the health care of the person with disability.
