Esta dissertação de mestrado teve o objetivo de investigar os motivos que levaram os pais de crianças com autismo e deficiência intelectual associada a matricularem seus filhos na educação infantil em escolas de educação especial. Para atender o objetivo proposto, esta pesquisa apresenta um panorama da educação infantil no Brasil, com destaque para a questão da educação especial, abordando as suas ambiguidades presentes nas normas e legislação, além de discutir a respeito da falta de consenso e fragilidade na conceituação e caracterização do autismo e da deficiência intelectual. Foram realizadas entrevistas com pais de crianças com autismo e deficiência intelectual associada, que frequentaram a educação infantil em escola de educação especial. O que se observou nas entrevistas foi que os pais buscaram inicialmente a escola regular para seus filhos, mas devido às dificuldades encontradas, acabaram escolhendo por retirá-los da escola regular e matriculá-los em escolas privadas de educação especial, por acreditarem que estas escolas podem oferecer melhores condições para o processo de escolarização de seus filhos. Ao analisarmos os relatos dos pais à luz da Teoria Critica da Sociedade, levantamos alguns indícios de que a escola de educação especial muitas vezes aparece como a melhor possibilidade de escolarização para crianças com autismo de e deficiência intelectual associada, logo, esta escolha dos pais apresenta uma coerência. No entanto, não houve resistência e enfrentamento dos pais ao se depararem com as dificuldades na inclusão de seus filhos nas escolas de ensino regular, o que indica uma atitude de adaptação destes pais em relação aos limites impostos à escolarização de seus filhos com autismo e deficiência intelectual associada. Além disso, discutimos a questão de que a educação infantil pode ser um ambiente inclusivo dado às condições adequadas para que as crianças tenham contato com a diversidade, ou seja, crianças com e sem deficiências frequentando a mesma escola, podem por esta aproximação ter uma diminuição do preconceito para com o diferente / This dissertation aimed to investigate the reasons that parents of children with autism and intellectual disability associated with enrolling their children in early childhood education in special education schools. To meet the proposed objective, this research presents an overview of early childhood education in Brazil, highlighting the issue of special education, approaching their present ambiguity in the rules and legislation, and to discuss about the fragility and lack of consensus in the conceptualization and characterization of autism and intellectual disabilities. Interviews were conducted with parents of children with autism and intellectual disability associated with, who attended early childhood education in special education school. What was observed in the interviews was that parents initially sought a mainstream school for their children, but due to difficulties, just by choosing to remove them from regular school and enroll them in private schools for special education because they believe that these schools may offer better conditions for the process of schooling of their children. When analyzing the parental reports in the light of Critical Theory of Society, lifted some evidence that the special education school often appears as the best possible education for children with autism and intellectual disability associated, so that parental choice has consistency. However, there was no resistance and coping of parents faced with the difficulties in including their children in mainstream schools, which indicates an attitude adjustment of parents in relation to limits on the schooling of their children with autism and disabilities associated intellectual. Moreover, we discuss the question that early childhood education can be an inclusive environment given the right conditions for children to have contact with diversity and children with and without disabilities attending the same school, this approach may have a decreased prejudice toward different

This investigation is based in a triple theoretical perspective, discussed in the first chapter, with the contributions of Apple (1989), Sacristán (1998) and Perrenoud (1993) about curriculum, scholar education and pedagogical activities. In the sequence the issues about the intellectual disability definitions and their relation with schooling process, which one of most contributors was Vigotski (1989). In the end we looking for to take the ownership of Bourdieu (2009) contributions in the field of high society schooling to analyze the relationship between schooling and intellectual disability. The hypothesis of this investigation, that the curriculum of a special school for high society students with intellectual disability differs from the others schools that doesn t have this focus, and its main function is the child development by an better appropriation of scholar contents, can not be proven because the scholar organization and the pedagogical practices, mainly based in routinization of activities and not by the exploration of the manifestation of the students, seem to express a fixed and unchanging perspective of cognitive impairments presented by students / Este estudo teve como objetivo geral a identificação e a análise do currículo e do trabalho pedagógico realizado em uma escola especial destinada a alunos com deficiência intelectual proveniente de camadas sociais superiores, com a intenção de verificar qual é o trabalho educativo realizado e se tal escola apresenta de alguma forma um ensino diferenciado. Para tanto, esta investigação apresenta uma tríplice perspectiva teórica, discutida no primeiro capítulo, inicialmente com as contribuições de Apple (1989), Sacristán (1998) e Perrenoud (1993) sobre currículo, organização escolar, práticas e atividades pedagógicas e posteriormente abordamos questões referentes à definição de deficiência intelectual e sua relação com os processos de escolarização, onde destacamos as contribuições de Vigotski (1989). Por fim, procuramos nos apropriar das contribuições de Bourdieu (2009) no que se refere à escolarização das elites, para a análise da relação entre escolarização e deficiência intelectual. A hipótese inicial desta investigação, de que o currículo de uma escola especial voltada para o atendimento de alunos com deficiência intelectual provenientes das camadas sociais elevadas se diferencia dos voltados à maioria da população e tem por finalidade o desenvolvimento da criança para favorecer uma melhor apropriação do conteúdo escolar, não pode ser comprovada, uma vez que organização escolar e curricular e as práticas pedagógicas, marcadas fundamentalmente pela rotinização das atividades e pela não exploração da manifestação dos alunos, parecem expressar uma perspectiva fixa e imutável dos prejuízos cognitivos apresentados por seu alunado

This session will provide a framework for assisting culturally and linguistically diverse students with moderate-severe intellectual disability. Strategies for general curriculum access, academic instruction, meaningful collaboration with families and educators, as well as suggestions for enhancing postsecondary outcomes will be provided. . 1. Participants will identify components of the proposed culturally responsive framework (universal design for learning, self-determination, safe learning environments, technology, multiple opportunities to respond, primary language support, integration of culture in learning, and systematic/explicit instruction) to assist CLD students with moderate-severe ID in the preparation of postsecondary opportunities. 2. Participants will summarize strategies to increase parental involvement during academic and transition planning. 3. Participants will identify various postsecondary opportunities that exist nationwide for students with moderate-severe ID.

This session will outline current research as it relates to activity schedules as an evidence-based practice and will offer suggestions for areas of continued research. Specific uses of activity schedules will be highlighted and various formats will be explored. Innovative approaches to using activity schedules will also be demonstrated. Learner Outcomes: • Participants will gain understanding of current research involving using activity schedules for promoting independence for individuals with intellectual disabilities in regard to quantity, quality, and future possibilities; • Participants will learn various uses of activity schedules to promote independence for individuals with intellectual disabilities during transitions and task analytic skills; and • Participants will explore various activity schedules and determine appropriate options based on individual needs (object vs. picture vs. written; high tech vs. low tech; etc.).

Research has long demonstrated the discrepancies that culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) families and students with intellectual disability face within public schools as well as post-school outcomes. This presentation will highlight a culturally responsive framework that can prepare CLD families and their children to participate in postsecondary opportunities.

In the State of Indiana, for students over the age of 14 who have been diagnosed with intellectual or developmental disabilities, the transition from special education to Medicaid waiver oversight should occur seamlessly, but gaps in integrated and aligned goal development strategies remain. As a consequence, students who need adult-based support may not be receiving the full scope of services to which they are entitled. Using common-pool resource theory as a foundation, the purpose of this explanatory case study of transitional services to Indiana Medicaid was to understand, from the perspective of disability support service staff, the barriers to effective quality of life outcomes and collaboration among government agencies involved in the transition process. In-depth interview data were collected from a total of 6 vocational rehabilitation specialists, directors, and transition coordinators. These interview data were inductively coded and thematically analyzed according to identified common pool action areas. Key research findings included: (a) the need for implementation of student self-determination principles, (b) a strengthening of sustainable goal development directed toward student employment, and (c) an overall enhanced collaboration between key disability service support staff roles to create sustainable structures. Positive social change opportunities include recommendations to the Indiana Division of Disability and Rehabilitation Services to improve the overarching student-to-adult transition process, reduce redundant funding streams, and streamline goal development to create a sustainable, collaborative experience for students over their lifespan of support.
