Acessibilidade na Educação Infantil: Desafios e possibilidades

Abstract

Accessibility in Early Childhood Education is crucial to ensure equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their abilities and needs. This study aims to analyze inclusion and equal opportunities in early childhood education, aiming to ensure access to quality education. The specific objectives are to identify the needs of children with disabilities, investigate their progress, and assess the impact of accessibility measures. The methodology includes qualitative participatory research, social research, bibliographic, and documentary research. The study will be developed in three stages: "Mapping Needs: Investigation of the specificities of children with disabilities," exploring how schools can identify the individual characteristics of each child, considering skills, limitations, and support needs. "Continuous Assessment: Strategies to monitor the progress of children with disabilities," emphasizing the importance of systematic evaluation to monitor their academic, social, and emotional development. "Measuring Accessibility Impact: Promoting an inclusive school environment," emphasizing the importance of an evidence-based approach to ensure that all children benefit from a welcoming and stimulating environment. This study aims to contribute to knowledge about accessibility in Early Childhood Education and support the development of more effective policies and practices, promoting a more inclusive and just society.
