Abstract:
Despite being present throughout human history, accessibility has not always been
taken into account in architectural projects. It is common knowledge that, since the
first human groups, people with disabilities have been excluded from participating in society, and it was only with the aftermath of the Second Civil War that the need
arose to find ways to reintegrate civilians and military personnel who had returned
with sequelae from the conflict into society. The aim of this study was to verify
accessibility in a school in the city of Santa Rosa de Goiás and how it may or may not
become a facilitating tool. This research was carried out through a case study in
which the accessibility conditions of this school unit were analyzed in accordance
with NBR 9050. Analyses of accessibility become a tool for school inclusion and
ensure possible conditions that enable and promote access. In fact, planning with the
situations people face when accessing the places they go to in mind is necessary to
facilitate the implementation of accessibility projects. Therefore, the school inclusion
proposal advocates that the educational environment should adapt to the needs of
users, rather than adapting to the structures of the place of study, but if the
environment is not prepared to cater for everyone, it is this place that becomes
deficient.
