DA ESCOLA ESPECIAL AO CENTRO DE ATENDIMENTO EDUCACIONAL ESPECIALIZADO: OLHARES EM MOVIMENTOS

Resumen

The content of this text is the implementation of inclusive special education policies. It analyzes the process of transformation of a special school in a specialized educational service center. This is a qualitative study carried out from documentary analyses and semi-directed interviews done in 2012 in a city of the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre/RS. The "Policy Cycle Approach" orients its theoretical-methodological path. As a result, it may be observed that such process is a quick movement, without much planning, focused on specialized services and not on regular schools. Such fragmentation shows disputes, setbacks and advances against the demands for school inclusion as well as the complexity to provide an inclusive system. Movements which seek, in closing and opening doors, to constitute new settings on “difference” and “equality” in education.
