The general objective/goal was to subsidize the elaboration of alternatives for the planning of environments that could be used by any person. The study used the empirical research through the adoption of a multimethod approach including: (i) technical visits oriented by the NBR 9050, (ii) contact with users that have reduced mobility (visually impaired and wheelchair or crutch users) through escorted travels and interviews, and (iii) interview with school managers. The evidence from the research, even though with significant development of laws that guarantee people with disabilities their right to citizenship, the physical environment of our schools still present with many obstacles that prevent the mobility of people with disabilities which proves their lack of readiness to accommodate them. Therefore, the actions taken to address the accessibility has been the adoption of temporary solutions that makes the adaptation more difficult, adds obstacles and reinforces the undesirable segregation, however still very present in our society. Finally, there is the indication that in order to achieve the spatial configuration that promotes social contact and integration in between the persons with different physical status, it is necessary to completely comprehend the activities developed in each space, from the conception of the equipment to the individual learning needs, having in mind creating environments that stimulates the execution of the tasks in an independent manner without the assistance of others. The inclusion regarding attention to accessibility in the decision making process, directed to the arquitectural and urban project, would decrease the constant need to redevelop and adapt spaces, and should be definitely incorporated as an important component in the production of space / A an?lise do atendimento ?s necessidades das Pessoas com Defici?ncia possibilitada pelo espa?o f?sico de duas escolas da rede municipal de Natal / RN, originou este trabalho que teve como meta geral subsidiar a elabora??o de alternativas para o planejamento de ambientes destinados ? utiliza??o de todas as pessoas. O estudo recorreu ? pesquisa emp?rica, atrav?s da ado??o de uma abordagem multi-m?todo, envolvendo: (i) vistoria t?cnica orientada pela NBR 9050, (ii) contacto com usu?rios que possuem mobilidade reduzida (deficientes visuais e usu?rios de cadeira de rodas e muletas) com a realiza??o de passeio acompanhado e entrevista, e (iii) entrevista com os gestores escolares. A pesquisa evidenciou que, apesar dos significativos avan?os garantidos pelas leis espec?ficas que garantam aos PDs o direito ? cidadania, o ambiente f?sico de nossas escolas ainda cont?m muitos obst?culos que impedem a mobilidade das pessoas com defici?ncia, evidenciando seu despreparo para receb?-las. Nesse sentido, as a??es relacionadas ? acessibilidade f?sica t?m sido marcadas pela ado??o de solu??es paliativas que dificultam a melhor adequa??o do espa?o, acumulam barreiras e refor?am uma segrega??o n?o desejada, por?m, ainda, muito presente em nossa sociedade. Finalmente, indica-se que, para alcan?ar uma configura??o espacial que favore?a a sociabilidade e a intera??o entre indiv?duos com diferentes condi??es f?sicas, ? necess?ria a compreens?o plena das atividades desenvolvidas em cada espa?o, desde a concep??o dos equipamentos at? as necessidades pedag?gicas individuais, tendo em vista criar ambientes que estimulem o desempenho das tarefas de maneira independente, sem aux?lio de outros. A inser??o da preocupa??o com a acessibilidade no processo de tomada de decis?es, direcionadas para o projeto arquitet?nico e urban?stico, possibilitaria a diminui??o da cont?nua necessidade de se re-projetar e adaptar espa?os, devendo ser incorporada, definitivamente, como importante componente da produ??o do espa?o
