Abstract

This work was developed from an extension research project aimed at addressing the doubts and uncertainties related to the inclusion of young people with disabilities in regular education in public elementary schools in Caçador. The research analyzed the families' perspectives on this process and investigated how we can help schools overcome possible system deficiencies in the inclusion of these students. To collect data, a questionnaire was administered to 10 families, characterizing a cross-sectional study of qualitative nature, with an exploratory and descriptive approach. The data were obtained through the application of questionnaires during home visits. The extension project, in the field of applied social sciences, was developed in partnership with the Department of Education of Caçador and the Municipal School Maria Luiza Barbosa, located in Santa Catarina, Brazil. From the results obtained, it is clear that most parents view the inclusion of their children with disabilities in regular education positively but point out challenges such as learning difficulties and the need for more support professionals. The project highlighted the importance of family involvement and the continuity of extension projects to promote a more inclusive society.
