A educação inclusiva e seus aspectos legais e pedagógicos: uma análise da Escola de Música do Estado do Maranhão - Lilah Lisboa de Araújo

Abstract

The objective of this article is to understand the reality of the Music School of the State of Maranhão – Lilah Lisboa de Araújo School, and to determine whether or not people with disabilities are included in its regular classes. To this end, this research was conducted based on bibliographic, documentary and field research. The field research was conducted to verify the physical structure and whether the facilities are adequate to receive people with disabilities. Data were collected through a mixed questionnaire, with closed and open questions, applied to teachers, administrative staff and a former director of EMEM. The study demonstrated the extreme need for training of professionals who work at EMEM, since they all feel unprepared to work with people with disabilities, as well as a restructuring of the entire building where the school operates, because it is not accessible to receive students with disabilities.
