Old demands, new times: analysis of Special Education in Goias and Tocantins

ABSTRACT

After decades of discussions and legislation regarding Special Education, the demands remain urgent and daily. This study, qualitative and documental analysis, interprets how Special Education has been understood in federal and state legislation, from Goias and Tocantins, stressing the challenges brought by the pandemic. After inductive analysis of the data, the results indicate that the Base Nacional Comum Curricular approaches the theme of inclusion in a fragile way and, in the state documents, an alignment of its goals with the Plano Nacional de Educagao is noted, although adaptations are still needed to the existing social demands, previous or that emerged during the pandemic.
