The principle of special education in Naviraí/MS: teachers who tell the history ; O princípio da educação especial em Naviraí/MS: professoras que contam a história

The present study refers to the initial works of special education in Naviraí and aims to understand how formal education was offered to children with disabilities since the foundation of the city in 1963, when there were no schools specialized in attending these children, until 1986, year in which the Centro de Educação Especial Naviraiense (CEDEN) was founded, which currently works together with the Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (APAE). It presents a brief history of Naviraí, the historical panorama of special education in Brazil and the legislation for special education in the country. The qualitative field research was carried out by recording interviews with two teachers who worked with special classes during the investigation period and also contributed to the implementation of the APAE in the city. The results indicate that, although the first classrooms appeared in 1958, it was only in 1976 that a room was installed, attached to the Marechal Rondon municipal school, directed to taking care of children with disabilities, all of them enrolled in the same class, despite their specificities. The training of the two teachers to work with these students consisted of a course held in Cuiabá, some months before the opening of the special class. It is evident that Naviraí accompanied the current educational system at the time in the country, since the special rooms were implanted in the same period in which a greater investment related to special education began to appear in Brazil. ; O presente estudo refere-se aos trabalhos iniciais da Educação Especial em Naviraí e visa compreender como era oferecida a educação formal às crianças com deficiência, desde o surgimento do município, em 1963, quando não havia escolas especializadas em atendê-las, até 1986, ano em que surge o Centro de Educação Especial Naviraiense (CEDEN), que atualmente funciona juntamente com a Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (APAE).
