Abstract

BioContos Project carries out weekly storytelling at a Municipal School of Elementary Education in the Municipality of São Vicente, taking into account the local aquatic biodiversity. From the contact with the diversity of primary school children, work began on the inclusion of students with special educational needs (NEE), since studies show that their inclusion in the regular school makes them more active in society and assist in development. We developed some questionnaires addressed to teachers, in order to verify the main difficulties and challenges they face in the inclusion process. We verified similarities in the answers such as the lack of report, specialized support, didactic materials as well as qualified professionals to provide psychopedagogical support. In addition, we asked teachers to evaluate the BioContos project from an inclusive perspective.
