The thesis is focused on the issue of comprehensive rehabilitation of pupils with physical or multiple disabilities upon entering school.

One of the aims was to outline the social, cultural and economical profiles of these students, and relate aspects of their school lives (in the continued progression system) to their original social and cultural conditions, and to reflect about the relationship between public policies of inclusion (and the actual conditions offered by the school) and failures in academic performance. This study is justified by the fact that discussions about inclusion in schools is widely present nowadays, and it is therefore necessary to verify in what conditions it has been taking place. The theory upon which this research was based was defined from certain aspects of the thoughts of Bourdieu, where there is a premise stating that original social conditions and the cultural capital that is transmitted significantly influence the academic process of any student, and, also, from certain contributions by Bueno and Patto, who study issues pertaining to Special Education and academic failure, respectively. The data on the schooling processes was collected from official documents (Student Records); the information on socialcultural conditions were registered in a questionnaire directed to family members; and school characteristics were taken down by the researcher, in a specific form developed for this purpose. The conclusions were that the main highlight in the schooling process of students with disabilities was the disability itself. However, in opposition to a naturalized and biological interpretation which points to the limitations imposed by disabilities, the aspects which mainly stood out were the actual school and its dissatisfactory conditions / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar o percurso escolar de alunos com deficiência matriculados na 5ª série, em classe comum da rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo, em regiões opostas da capital, não com o foco no indivíduo e seus supostos dons, mas numa perspectiva de que esse indivíduo é produto das condições sociais, econômicas e culturais nas quais se insere. Pretendeu-se traçar o perfil social, cultural e econômico desses alunos e relacionar aspectos de sua vida escolar (no sistema de Progressão Continuada) com suas condições sociais e culturais de origem, refletindo, ainda, sobre a relação entre a política pública de inclusão (e as condições oferecidas pela escola) e o fracasso escolar. Justifica-se este estudo pelo fato de que a discussão sobre a inclusão escolar apresenta-se fortemente presente nos dias atuais, sendo necessário verificar em que condições ela está ocorrendo. A fundamentação teórica foi definida a partir de alguns aspectos do pensamento de Bourdieu, pois há a premissa de que as condições sociais de origem e o capital cultural transmitido influenciam significativamente a trajetória escolar de qualquer aluno e, também, tomando algumas das contribuições de Bueno e Patto, estudiosos das questões da Educação Especial e do fracasso escolar, respectivamente. Os dados sobre a trajetória escolar foram coletados em documentos oficiais (Cadastro de Alunos); sobre as condições sociais, econômicas e culturais as informações foram registradas em questionário direcionado aos familiares; sobre a caracterização da escola, o registro foi feito em ficha de coleta de dados elaborada pela pesquisadora. Concluiu-se que a marca principal na trajetória escolar dos alunos com deficiência seja a própria deficiência, mas, diferentemente da interpretação naturalizada e biológica que aponta para os limites das deficiências, se destacou a escola e suas condições ainda insatisfatórias

This presentation will inform participants on a study targeting teaching Middle School ELA skills via an App to students with significant disabilities. Based on results of an IES SBIR grant funded single subject study, participants will learn about apps to make accessing the general curriculum motivating and easy to use while promoting best practices and future directions for inclusive practices. At the end of this session participants will be able to: Identify evidence based practices built within an English/ Language Arts app to for students with significant disabilities (e.g., story based lessons, constant time delay, system of least prompts). Gain knowledge on creation and research behind the app. Identify strategies to teach grade aligned Common Core standards in English/ Language Arts, such as adapting grade appropriate texts, and embedding target vocabulary, target comprehension across Blooms Taxonomy. Gain knowledge about future directions for expansion of the app to cover more English/ Language Arts standards. Identify resources for meaningful access to the general curriculum using a variety of text depicting diverse populations for individuals with significant disabilities, including autism.
