Produção científica brasileira sobre pessoas com deficiência visual em contextos de trabalho

Abstract

Studies have been developed in work contexts, emphasizing the importance of privileging diversity and developing inclusion practices, with a view to equal rights and welcoming multiple ethnicities, genders and people with disabilities. This study aims to analyze the Brazilian scientific production about diversity and inclusion of people with visual disability in work contexts and consists of a systematic review of scientific articles, published until 2020, in two electronic databases. After a systematic search, three articles were identified, described and analyzed through the categories: potentialities and difficulties of inclusion process. The identified scientific production, perhaps because it is in its initial stage, reaffirms the importance of education, public policies, legislation and insertion or reintegration into work environments, that can be considered stages, even if fundamental, prior to the inclusion process. In addition, the difficulties faced by people with visual disability at work are emphasized, not highlighting the potentialities of this insertion process for people, as well as for organizations and society. It highlights the importance of educational proposals aimed at promoting inclusion that involve work contexts, else well as spaces formally recognized as educational. It is understood that studies like this can improve the expansion of knowledge production, as well as discussions to create culturally sensitive inclusion policies and practices for people with visual disability at work world.
