Interfaces entre educação especial, deficiência intelectual e tecnologia assistivas: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

This research provided important educational support by addressing the process through which Special Education has gradually become more inclusive within educational policies. The main objective was to investigate, through a literature review, the use of assistive technology in the education of students with intellectual disabilities. The study was conducted using a descriptive, qualitative approach based on a literature review. For this purpose, databases such as Google Scholar and CAPES Journals were used. The analysis revealed that teacher training is, in many cases, outdated in relation to the demands of the inclusive educational process. In this context, the use of assistive methodologies proves to be highly relevant. However, the lack of institutional support compromises the effectiveness of these practices, resulting in a less equitable education. This research, therefore, highlighted the lack of adequate training and pedagogical resources aimed at students with specific needs, especially those with Intellectual Disabilities (ID).
