Uso das redes sociais no trabalho docente junto às famílias para disseminar conhecimentos referentes aos direitos das pessoas com deficiência

Abstract

Brazil is a country with a series of laws that guarantee the rights of people with disabilities; however, the lack of dissemination and knowledge of these rights has negatively impacted the daily lives of these individuals. This article aims to reflect on how the use of social media in teaching work with families contributes to disseminating knowledge regarding the rights of people with disabilities. Based on books, articles, laws, decrees, research, and studies on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, we will address the various rights of people with disabilities present in Brazil, based on legislation. This is a qualitative, case study based on an Experience Report, which analyzed the impacts of the lack of information and knowledge about the rights of people with disabilities that still plagues a large part of the Brazilian population, making it impossible to fulfill these rights. The results indicate that the reintegration of students with disabilities into the school environment occurred through the use of WhatsApp as a powerful tool for accessing information, when used as an auxiliary tool in the teacher's work with families. By disseminating knowledge about the rights of people with disabilities, the teacher democratized information and ensured equal access to services for students with disabilities.
