Diretrizes arquitetônicas do espaço escolar ideal para Instituição APAE – Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais

Abstract

The inclusion of people with disabilities in a more just and equal society is of great importance. The Association of Parents and Friends of the Exceptional, known as APAE, aims to defend their rights, promoting health and education. The institution covers different stages and modalities of teaching, such as: infant education, elementary education, vocational education and also habilitation / rehabilitation of the disabled person. This institution requires adequate and accessible spaces for a good functioning, attending to all the needs and specificities of its target public, in addition to adapting to any pedagogical requirements. We analyze the school as a sociocultural context, where the physical structure influences human behavior and education. Thus, the architectural guidelines arise, because when the teaching environment is planned and accessible, it enables a pleasant and quality learning, creating possibilities, relating individuals, giving them autonomy to live the space.
