Condições de acessibilidade espacial em escolas públicas do sertão paraibano: estudo de casos.

Abstract

We proposed in this work to analyse about structural accessibility provided in two schools of São João do Rio do Peixe – PB, one of them belonging to the municipal body and other to the state one. It has been used photographies as data collection to register the spaces of access to the school, both the internal and external ones. For complementation of analysis we also made use of interviews with educators of these institution in an attempt to check the perception them about accessibility. In view of the data presented we observed that the schools are not yet properly adapted physically to receive the students with special educational needs, due to the existence of obstacles and barriers, like ramp with wrong slope, lack banisters, rest bar, tactile floor, among other. The lack of adequate knowledge about the physical accessibility of the persons who compose the school is an important factor, because it contributes to building of unsuitable ramps and undue adjustments, that do not contribute in anything for the exercise of the right to come and go, guaranteed to every Brazilian citizen.
