Intersectionalities and special education on the perspective of the inclusive education

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show that in research on the schooling of children with disabilities or chronically ill, intersectionality with issues of gender, race, social class and ethnicity are fundamental. The analysis was conducted based on this assumption, considered here as structuring of inclusive education. In order to carry out a narrative that validates this assumption, methodologically, information obtained in long ethnographic efforts with adults who accompany children registered as a target audience for special education in their respective schools was used. The conclusion we reached was that without criticizing the frameworks of gender, race and class that we witness the corporealities in question would not have been analyzed in an inclusive perspective.
