Abstract

SANTANA, Geiverson da Silva; COSTA, Fabíola Marinho  and  OLIVEIRA, Roberval Passos de. BRAZILIAN SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ON PEOPLE WITH VISUAL DISABILITY IN WORK CONTEXTS. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2022, vol.28, e0074.  Epub Nov 23, 2021. ISSN 1980-5470.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1980-54702022v28e0074.

Studies have been developed in work contexts, which emphasize the importance of privileging diversity and developing practices of inclusion, with a view to equal rights and the welcoming of multiple ethnicities, genders and people with disabilities. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the Brazilian scientific production about diversity and inclusion of people with visual impairment in work contexts. It consists of a systematic review of scientific articles, published until 2020, in two electronic databases. After a systematic search, three articles were identified, described and analyzed using the categories “potentialities” and “difficulties of the inclusion process”. Te identified scientific production, perhaps because it is in its initial stage, reaffirms the importance of education, public policies, legislation and insertion or reintegration into work environments, which can be considered stages, albeit fundamental, prior to the inclusion process. In addition, the difficulties faced by people with visual impairments at work are emphasized, not paying more attention to the potentialities of this insertion process for people, as well as for organizations and society. Te importance of educational proposals aimed at promoting inclusion is highlighted, which involve, in addition to spaces formally recognized as educational, the work contexts. Terefore, it is understood that studies as this one can foster the expansion of knowledge production, as well as discussions to create culturally sensitive inclusion policies and practices for people with visual impairments in the world of work.
