Políticas de inclusão escolar: regimes de (in)visibilidade sobre os estudantes com TPA e o discurso da educação para todos

Abstract

This dissertation examines how school inclusion policies generate regimes of (in)visibility regarding students with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), particularly through normative absences, criteria for recognition, and the ways in which certain individuals are or are not addressed by educational policies. Although APD is traditionally situated within the field of health, its manifestations have significant repercussions on teaching, learning, and school participation processes, thereby justifying its analysis within the field of education. This is a qualitative study based on document and literature analysis, grounded in a post-critical perspective and engaging with the work of Michel Foucault. The analytical corpus comprises educational policies, legislation, regulatory documents, and academic literature related to APD. The analysis was organized around four focal points that emerged from the material: a) the meanings generated by the expression "education for all"; b) the meanings attributed to equity in educational policies; c) the processes of naming and classifying special education subjects; and d) the production of regimes of (in)visibility that define which conditions of existence are recognized by educational policies. These focal points reveal that the discourse of universalizing the right to education coexists with mechanisms that select the subjects recognized by inclusion policies. While documents reaffirm principles such as education for all, inclusion, and equity, the recognition of differences occurs selectively; this delimits the target audiences of these policies and leaves certain conditions of existence on the margins of schooling processes. APD, in particular, remains virtually absent from educational policies, demonstrating that inclusion operates based on recognition criteria shaped by processes of normalization that produce distinct regimes of visibility and invisibility.
