RESUMO

This paper analyzes the federal government initiative which aims to ensure the quality of education in Brazil through equal opportunity and access to knowledge with the One Laptop per Child Project ¿ UCA. These technologies have become available in a pilot study phase and may subsequently reach the totality of regular schools in the country. However, it is necessary to note that the National Policy on Special Education, in the Perspective of Inclusive Education, ensures access and retention of people with disabilities in regular education classes. The objective of this study was to observe how the inclusive process of disabled people mediated by laptops occured. Characterized as a qualitative research, with a descriptive case study format, this work focused on the reality of Tiradentes-MG, which is a city considered as total UCA, that is, a municipality in which all schools were covered in this phase of the pilot project. Under the Vygotskian approach, the study assessed what changes occured in cognitive and social dimensions of people with disabilities when mediated by laptops in the school context, and it also identified which inclusive movements were triggered by the implementation of PROUCA, both in the classroom and school dynamics and in educational administration of the municipality. The different results of the research showed that the federal project of distribution of laptops imposes barriers to address diversity in a situation of sociodigital inclusion by delimiting the offered tool under the concept of technological homogeneity and uniformity. Furthermore, we observed that the inclusive practice in Tiradentes, ensures the binding of the special student to the regular school system, but it has not yet articulated movements that promote the effective participation of individuals with disabilities in the school environment, whether by lack of access Architectural, the restriction tospecialized educational services, or by the limited pedagogical support to the teacher.
