Abstract

The 2030 Education Action Framework and technological boom are of great relevance in Inclusive Education (IE). Objective: to carry out a systematic review on Assistive Technology (AT) in the IE of schoolchildren with special educational needs (SEN). Sources of data: systematic review of articles published in the last eight years and available in the following databases: Pubmed, SciELO, Lilacs and Medline. Search strategy included a combination of the following keywords: educational inclusion, self-help equipment, self-help devices, special education. Also included in the English language: maintreaming child, education special, self-help devices child. The union of these words was always made with the term AND. Data Synthesis: The search strategy resulted in 610 titles listed and 124 selected for review. By reading the title and the abstract, 17 articles were selected and included with the AT combination in the IE. The review made possible the analysis of national and international research. 2881 students with SEN, 391 parents and teachers, and 29 AT staff participated in the analysis. The main results found in the review were that the IE depends on several issues such as academic, behavioral, mobility / accessibility, sociability and transportation issues, and there should be greater understanding about the application of AT in IE. It is concluded that IE should be an integral part of an educational system, allow curricular flexibility and adaptation for students with special educational needs and AT has the benefit of facilitating the insertion of these students into the school environment.
