WUO, Andrea Soares    LEAL, Daniela. From the voice of the other: the social construction of disability in school. []. , 51, pp.51-62. ISSN 1414-6975.  https://doi.org/10.23925/2175-3520.2020i51p51-62.

The present article aimed to analyze the process of social construction of difference in school, especially that of disability - stigmatized difference, inferiorized and historically marginalized - and the ways in which people with disabilities live the school reality. The research, with a qualitative approach, was carried out in a high school in the city of Blumenau, using the daily school observations as data production technique, as well as documentary analysis and interviews with a school coordinator, a teacher and a blind student. Based on the social model of disability and the importance of the participation of people with disability in the construction of knowledge about their own reality, the results sought to highlight the narrative and perspectives of the student about her school trajectory. It was possible to observe that the processes of school inclusion/exclusion depend on the ways in which different actors conceive and deal with disability, which, in turn, is built up from the interactions between the student and the others.
