Inclusive Education: History, Prejudices, and School and Family

Abstract

Because the trend toward including students with disabilities in regular education has increased, this essay discusses relationships between school and family, starting from special education, within the perspective of inclusive education, that is, for everyone, regardless of any particularities. Therefore, we begin by reflecting on some historical aspects of the schooling process for people with disabilities. Thereafter, we reflect on the complex dynamics of prejudices and stereotypes in the constitution of subjectivity, considering inclusive education’s basic assumptions and barriers between family and school within public educational policies. We conclude that the diversity of inclusive education is not a favor to historically excluded groups but a struggle for the humanization of us all. This struggle necessarily involves overcoming the prejudices and stereotypes of all concerned because living with differences is a collective effort.
