Inclusão de uma aluna cega em um curso de licenciatura em Química

From the entrance of a blind student in chemistry course at a public university in Brazil this reflection was developed about the inclusion of the visually impaired in college chemistry. The teach- ers of this course answered a questionnaire where they expressed their fears and ideas on inclusion and initiatives in the classroom. It was found that inclusive education at this level requires the reconstruc- tion of the educational system to overcome pedagogical barriers. Most teachers pointed to the lack of instructional materials and their own unpreparedness as causes of failure in teaching for this student. On the other hand, her presence and interaction with colleagues contributed to the formation of more qualified teachers able to handle the difference. Experiencing a process of inclusion make them believe that this is possible and feasible.
