This research was presented in the form of two studies: Study 1, with the aim of developing an assessment instrument of phonological skills; Study 2, with the aim of applying such an instrument in students from 3rd to 5th grades of elementary school, both genders, aged between 7-13 years old with developmental dyslexia (GI, n = 20), learning disabilities (GII, n = 20), learning difficulties (GIII, n = 20) and good readers (GIV, n = 74). The results were statistically analyzed and showed lower performance in most of the tests (except for analysis and synthesis of syllables for GI and GII, showing that the phonological deficits of these students remain despite the increased academic ranking of those groups; syllabic and phonemic synthesis and analysis for GIII in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, suggesting a failure of academic instruction in teaching the phonological basis of the Portuguese alphabetic writing system); and lower performance of GIV only for 3rd graders. GI differed from GII only in phonemic analysis and synthesis tests, from GIII for combination and deletion of phoneme and from GIV for syllable and phoneme count, synthesis and analysis of phoneme, identification of syllable and phoneme, rhyme, alliteration, syllable and phoneme deletion and combination. GII differed from GIII for synthesis and analysis of phoneme, phoneme identification, rhyme, alliteration, syllable and phoneme deletion, combination of syllable and phoneme, and from GIV in all the tests, except for syllable synthesis and analysis.

As entrevistas mostraram grande diversidade de opiniões e situações na universidade. Apesar dos progressos em torná-la mais acessível, o direito dos alunos com deficiência terem as mesmas condições de participação nos cursos que os demais ainda não é inteiramente garantido e nem sempre compreendido. Há a necessidade de se superar a visão da deficiência como limite incontornável, localizado apenas no corpo da pessoa que a carrega, e o conseqüente cunho assistencialista que ainda subsiste em algumas posturas e ações relacionadas às pessoas com deficiência. Foi possível perceber que há hesitação e insegurança em receber estudantes com deficiência, decorrente da falta de experiência e contato prévio com esse tipo de aluno e do desconhecimento dos apoios e adaptações possíveis ou já disponíveis na universidade. Estes ainda precisam ser ampliados e aperfeiçoados, para configurar um centro de atendimento educacional especializado capaz de dar suporte aos alunos e professores sempre que necessário. Os dados também indicaram que é preciso vencer as resistências às diferenciações que os estudantes com deficiência demandam, incentivando o desenvolvimento de uma nova concepção geral do ensino na universidade, com ênfase na flexibilidade curricular. Os relatos mostraram a importância da presença desses alunos e de sua participação na construção de condições propícias para o exercício de sua capacidade e autonomia. Embora esses estudantes ainda possam se sentir ou ainda sejam considerados como "estranhos no ninho", é na interação com eles que a universidade será desafiada a buscar soluções e a debater os rumos que deve tomar para transformar-se em um ambiente inclusivo e aberto às diferenças / Abstract: The inclusion of students with disabilities in the courses at Unicamp is a challenge that goes beyond the compliance with the existing legislation on accessibility, since it also depends on the interpersonal and pedagogical relations. Given the importance of the teachers in such relations, this research has investigated the way they see the possibilities these students have in taking the courses offered. It aims at finding out which factors contribute to or hinder the inclusion of those students in the university. Open interviews were carried out with thirty professors from all fields of knowledge, and who have different roles in their faculties or institutes. The interviews have shown a wide variety of opinions and situations inside the university. Despite the advances in making the university more accessible, the right of the students with disabilities to have the same conditions to participate in the courses as the other students is still not entirely guaranteed and not always understood. There is still the need to first overcome the idea of viewing disability as a limitation that cannot be bypassed, which is located only in the body of the person who carries it, and second, the philanthropic nature which still exists in some attitudes and acts related to the people with disabilities. It was possible to notice that there is hesitation and lack of confidence in receiving students with disabilities, due to lack of experience and previous contact with that type of student and also because of lack of information on the possible, or already available, support and adaptations in the university. Such support needs to be increased and improved in order to be considered a specialized educational center capable of offering support to both students and professors whenever it is needed. The data have also indicated that it is necessary to overcome the resistance towards the differences, which is required while dealing with students with disabilities. They encourage the development of a new general concept of the university teaching with emphasis on curriculum flexibility. The reports have shown the importance of the presence of those students and their participation in the construction of proper conditions for the practice of their full capacity and autonomy. Although those students can still feel or are still considered as ¿strangers in the nest¿, it is through the interaction with them that the university will be challenged to look for solutions and to debate which direction it should take so as to transform itself into an inclusive environment, open to differences / Doutorado / Ensino, Avaliação e Formação de Professores. / Doutor em Educação

High school administrators in a rural school district were providing transition planning to students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in order to meet postschool transition goals. Despite these efforts, few students with ASD were employed or enrolled in postsecondary training, and parents reported that they were dissatisfied with the postschool transition process. The purpose of this collective case study was to explore parental and staff perceptions of the postschool transition processes of students with ASD to increase the understanding of the practice related to postschool transitions. Guided by Tinto and Pusser's institutional framework, research questions were focused on the experiences of parents and staff, including teachers and support personnel, with the postschool transition process of students with ASD. A purposeful sample of 25 participants, including the first 10 parents of students with ASD who applied and the staff who supported them, were interviewed. Teachers were also observed during the postschool transition process. Archival postschool transition survey data were also analyzed. Themes were identified through application of open coding and thematic analysis to interviews, observations, and survey data and included: parents and teachers need support [reference guide and professional development (PD)] and stakeholder collaboration is crucial to success even though time is a constraint and skills prioritization is evident in Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Teachers used IEPs to guide the postschool transition process, but parental concerns remained. Therefore, a PD for teachers and reference guide for parents were created for the local site to improve parental trust of the postschool transition process for students with ASD.

Math achievement for U.S. high school students identified with math disabilities continues to fall below expected norms. Longitudinal national and state-level assessment data showed a flat or negative trend in math performance of students with disabilities, which may negatively affect their postsecondary outcomes. The purpose of this embedded mixed-methods study was to determine the impact of an extended time algebra course on increasing the math performance of freshman students with math disabilities. The conceptual framework included Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and zone of proximal development, Bloom's theory of master learning, and Carroll's theory of degree of learning. Data collection included archived test scores from the previous school year of 21 students and a survey administered to 4 current teachers of the Tier 2 course. Statistical analysis of the archived scores using an independent samples t-test measured the differences between the means test scores of students from the Extended Time course and the Special Education Algebra course. Additionally, the study used a paired samples t-test to measure pretest and posttest differences in math scores of students enrolled in the intervention course. Results from the t-tests along with coding of the qualitative data indicated that the Tier 2 intervention did not allow students to make statistically significant gains in math performance. Suggestions for improving the Tier 2 course were created based on study findings. The study is significant to high school educators inclusive of classroom teachers, school and district administrators, and curriculum developers because it examined an intervention used for students with disabilities who received educational support in the mainstream classroom. Results can inform best practices for meeting the needs of high school freshman and assist in the development of programming options that positively affect the academic achievement of students with disabilities. Implications for social change include improving math outcomes of students with disabilities as a means of increasing their success in postsecondary endeavors.
