O ensino dos estudantes da Educação Especial na pandemia: estudo da realidade de um município cearense

Abstract

Esta pesquisa objetivou compreender o desenvolvimento do ensino destinado aos estudantes da Educação Especial de escolas públicas de um município cearense durante o período pandêmico, considerando as experiências de profissionais da educação. Optou-se pela pesquisa de campo e documental. Participaram professores do Atendimento Educacional Especializado, coordenadores pedagógicos e uma técnica da Secretaria de Educação. Os resultados apontam que as orientações normativas não contemplaram os aspectos do trabalho com esses alunos, e constataram-se problemas com o acesso às ferramentas digitais e seu uso. As responsabilidades centraram-se nas professoras do serviço e contribuíram para gerar restrições a esses estudantes no acesso ao currículo comum e à aprendizagem dos conteúdos escolares.

“…The median LoS for all hospitalization was 43.0 days, which is lower than the median LoS in the United States (48–57.1 days) 15 . Electroconvulsive therapy is a procedure that requires its administration for a total of 6 to 12 sessions performed in a serial manner, at a rate of about 2 to 3 times a week, to produce a desirable therapeutic effect 2 .

“…(ACSS), which gathered all registered hospitalizations in Portuguese public hospitals from 2008 to 2015. This administrative database was conceived to estimate and calculate the reimbursement costs associated with hospitalizations occurring in public hospitals of Portugal and was already used in multiple epidemiological studies in mental health 1–4 . The public sector represents approximately 70% of all hospitalizations that occur in Portugal, which reinforces the importance of administrative public sector databases in medical research 5 …”

“…The recognition of psychopharmacology's limitations and side effects, as well as the safety of ECT's procedure with modern devices, has helped in overcoming the associated stigma of this technique over the last decades. Today, ECT is a fast, effective, and safe treatment and, with current anesthesia, is totally painless and comfortable for the patient 2 …”

“…Regardless of these indications and the fact that guidelines developed by the American Psychiatric Association advised that ECT should not be used only as a last resort, reports on ECT utilization largely vary and there is no uniform worldwide practice 1,2,6–8 …”
