INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES AND METHODOLOGIES

Abstract

The problem addressed was: what is the effectiveness of the strategies and methodologies used for the inclusion of students with disabilities in the school environment? The general objective was to identify and analyze the practices to promote the inclusion of these students. The methodology adopted was a literature review, analyzing relevant works on pedagogical strategies, active methodologies and inclusive assessment approaches. The results showed that the personalization of teaching, the use of assistive technology and the promotion of a collaborative environment are effective practices for the inclusion of students with disabilities. The personalization of teaching adapted methods and content to the specific needs of students, while assistive technology facilitated access to the curriculum and overcame physical barriers. The promotion of a collaborative environment involved teachers, students and families, creating continuous and adapted support. However, the study also identified challenges, such as the lack of adequate training for educators and deficiencies in school infrastructure. The final considerations highlighted that, although the practices analyzed have shown effectiveness, it is necessary to conduct research to explore new approaches and how different contexts influence the effectiveness of inclusion strategies. The continuity of investigations is essential to improve current practices and meet the needs of students with disabilities.
