School inclusion of a child with Down's Syndrome

The subject of inclusion is very controversial in the Brazilian education system due to the complexity of the factors to be reviewed in order to implement it. However schools are receiving children with disabilities and the process of including them generates doubts and conflicts in the school structure and organization. The research carried out seeks to understand how the process of including a child with Down's Syndrome takes place in a regular private school in the municipality of Curitiba-PR. The results showed that the inclusion of this child is idealized by the school but its realization within inclusive perspectives depends on a re-signification of the school system and especially of the conception of school inclusion conceived by education professionals. The intention of this research is not only to present a critique of the inclusion model studied but also to offer support to help make it a reality.
