BORGES, Laura  and  CAMPOS, Juliane Aparecida de Paula Perez. Determinants for the entry of students with disabilities in high school. Psicol. educ. [online]. 2017, n.44, pp.79-91. ISSN 1414-6975.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2175-3520.20170008.

This study aimed to identify the positive and negative aspects of the education of students with disabilities before their entry into high school and determinants for enrollment in high school, according to them and their parents. The participants were seven students with disabilities enrolled in the first year of public high schools, and their respective parents (five mothers and one father, aged 37-57). The participants were interviewed with questions about their schooling before entering high school and the transition to this stage of education. The interview script was submitted to four judges in order to verify the compatibility of the instrument with the proposed objectives and with the target population.It was possible to consider that, although the school is a protagonist in the positive and negative schooling events of the student, it exercised little influence on the decision and motivation to enroll in high school.

Keywords : special education; school inclusion; elementary school; high school; disabilities.
