RESUMO
Resumo Políticas educacionais voltadas à inclusão escolar têm levado ao aumento de matrículas de alunos público alvo da educação especial (PAEE) na escola comum e como resultado observa-se aumento de transferências das instituições especializadas para escolas comuns. O estudo analisou as perspectivas de profissionais da escola e familiares sobre as transferências escolares de alunos com deficiência intelectual (DI). Participaram seis familiares e dez profissionais da escola. Todos responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada, cuja análise permitiu identificar cinco eixos temáticos: formação do professor, despreparo e falta de informação; falta de suportes; ausência de preparo para a transferência; expectativas quanto ao aluno com DI em relação às características comportamentais, aprendizagem e desempenho. Os resultados ratificam dados presentes em pesquisas sobre a implementação da educação especial em ambientes inclusivos, sinalizando que concepções dos professores, gestores e familiares frente à inclusão dependem da severidade da deficiência do aluno, das habilidades e atitudes dos profissionais.Abstract Educational policies aimed at school inclusion have led to an increased enrollment of students with special education needs (SEN) in mainstream schools and, as a result, there is an increase in transfers from specialized institutions to mainstream schools. This study analyzed the perspectives of school professionals and family members on school transfers of students with intellectual disabilities (ID). Six family members and ten school professionals participated in the study. All attended semi-structured interviews, whose analysis allowed us to identify five thematic axes: teacher training; lack of preparation and information; lack of supports; lack of preparation for transfer; expectations regarding the ID student, mainly concerning behavioral characteristics, learning and performance. Results confirm data from research on the implementation of special education in inclusive environments, indicating that teachers’, managers’ and families’ conceptions of inclusion depend on the severity of the student’s disability, and on the skills and attitudes of the professionals.
