Abstract

This article aims at a comparative analysis of initial training courses degree in Special Education, Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM - RS), the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCAR - SP) and the Community College Regional Chapecó (Unochapecó - SC). For analysis, we used arrays of curricular disciplines of the four courses, as well as the comparison of their goals, performance spaces and audience. It was found that the courses have some items that differ with what provides for the National Policy on Special Education in the Perspective of Inclusive Education. From this analysis, we see the need for a reflection across the organization of curricula, in order to assess the practical questions raised by state and local networks to characterize the work of professionals who will compete in the job market in the area.
