FARIA, Andréa Nascimento Moreira; MARIANI, Ruth  and  LIMA, Neuza Rejane Wille. Subsidies for the Construction of a Primer on the need to include People with Dwarfism. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2021, vol.28, e041.  Epub June 29, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v28a2021-41.

Dwarfism is a genetic condition that involves abnormal skeletal growth, causing short stature compared to the average population. Our objective was to raise awareness and contextualize the need for inclusion of people with dwarfism, by applying a questionnaire with 31 questions that would serve as a basis to produce a booklet on the proposed theme. The questionnaire was sent through Google Forms to 400 people, including CMPDI members, college classmates, and the United Dwarves group. The 76 responses obtained revealed that there is superficial knowledge on the subject, precariousness in relation to accessibility, in addition to humiliation and prejudice. Thus, to reverse this scenario, was created: “Dwarfism in Debate: Pedagogical Primer for Social Inclusion” which will be launched by the Brazilian Association of Diversity and Inclusion.

Keywords : Accessibility; Human Rights; Inclusion; Preconception.
