Special education in an inclusive perspective: knowledge under construction

Abstract

We present in this edition a scientific publication, capable of contributing to the theme: Special education in an inclusive perspective: knowledge under construction, aiming to organize works that accompany this subject. This subject has been investigated by groups of researchers in Brazilian universities, envisioning the insertion with equality and equity of people with disabilities. The theme is controversial and involves several conceptual and operational conflicts, so it becomes important to think and rethink the historical context, pedagogical needs, individual and collective differences of these people and the actors involved in the process. From these objects of studies arise the contributions of this publication. The edition was organized with 14 articles, involving teaching, research and extension of undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as public teaching network experiences.
