Biblioteca escolar inclusiva: uma análise do cenário das bibliotecas escolares municipais do Distrito I em Fortaleza-CE

Abstract

The presented research results have the main goal of analyzing how the inclusion of students with disabilities at the School Libraries of the regular education at the Fortaleza Municipal Network is effective. This empirical exploratory research was carried out in 17 school libraries from the Fortaleza Municipal Network, members of the District 1. The instrument of data collection was a survey applied directly by the researcher, with those responsible for these libraries. Results showed that these employees have a positive idea about inclusion, although they often associate their responsibility to the Special Education Service, and that in most schools, students with disabilities use library services with other students. It was also observed that referred to tools for inclusion related to architectural, communicational, methodological, instrumental, programmatic and attitudinal accessibility, they are not always contemplated in the libraries actions. Another evidence is that none of the libraries investigated has librarians, nor enough professionals to perform in these spaces, nor do they rely on assistive technologies. The study of this reality revealed that inclusion in these areas has not yet been effected, and accessibility conditions are still problematic due to lack of investment in actions and public policies so that this situation can be reversed.
