Inclusion Policies and the professional reality: the experience of a blind graduate in the Supervised Curricular Internship

Abstract

In this text, we will discuss aspects related to the policies of inclusion of people with disabilities and their consequences regarding the insertion of this individual in the labor market. To do so, we will report on the experience of a blind undergraduate student1, in her compulsory curricular internship in the Full Degree course of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. It has been realized that, even with all the existing inclusion policies, the school and the students are not prepared to receive a blind teacher. This involves the adequacy of schools and society to receive these people, in order to promote citizenship, as persons having the same rights, among them the right to study and work.
