NENHUM CIDADÃO A MENOS: DISCUTINDO A INCLUSÃO DA PESSOA COM DEFICIÊNCIA COM ALUNOS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL DE UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO

Abstract

Inclusive education in Brazil has been gaining ground since 1994 with the Declaration of Salamanca, which was a milestone in the defense of the "school for all" paradigm. According to this model,  it is not the disabled student who should adapt to the standard of normality imposed by the society / school; rather it is the school that must be prepared and adapted to accommodate the diversity of all students, regardless of their condition. Based on the social model of disability and the expanded concept of health, this paper aims to present the game "No citizen left behind", whose objective is to discuss inclusive education with elementary school students. This game was held at a public school on World Health Day with students from elementary school to build an expanded view of health and diversity. It is a collective board game that simulates a path, through which groups of students must move (with the aid of a dice) and are led to reflect on the inclusion theme. As they played, non-disabled students were able to experience different situations that  people with disabilities faces in their daily lives. We consider that the use of this board game has helped -in a playful and interactive way - in raising students' awareness of the theme.
