Abstract

This dissertation has as general aim to identify in some school trajectories, the concepts of teaching and learning in children with microcephaly in the network municipal of child education in Natal and selected municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of Natal. The few publications in the area existing in the field of educational knowledge on this topic drew our attention to a problem regarding the reception of these children in the public network and the difficulties in conducting the educational trajectory. This is a qualitative research based on the testimonies of those responsible (mothers and educators) for such children, bringing to light the academic community the peculiarities of this type of approach. Therefore, we investigated some selected cases that serve us as a basis for thinking about school development, the effective conditions, and the next steps to attend an inclusive education. The research subjects are the teachers and the person responsible for the child and, based on the analysis of the collected data, we produced a primer with suggestions about inclusion, teaching and learning of children with microcephaly.
