O processo de escolarização de crianças com baixa visão no ensino regular

Abstract

Low vision, or subnormal vision, is a condition in which a person has significant vision loss that cannot be fully corrected by lenses (glasses or contact lenses), medication, or surgery. Therefore, this study aims to deepen knowledge about visual impairment, with an emphasis on the condition of low vision, as well as to analyze educational methodologies aimed at serving these students. The methodology chosen was an integrative and descriptive literature review. The study presents the definition, classification, and characteristics of low vision; discusses the historical principles and legal frameworks of inclusive education in Brazil; highlights the greatest challenges of inclusive education for students with low vision; and highlights the importance of Assistive Technologies (AT) and their role in the learning process, end finally presents a case study of student L G, who has a diagnosis of low vision, end finally. At the end of the research, it was possible to infer that, despite legal advances, structural and attitudinal barriers are the greatest challenges of inclusive education in Brazil and that the primary role of educational inclusion of people with disabilities is to guarantee them the right to autonomy and citizenship.
