SUMMARY:

Access for people with disabilities to secondary education is a reality for few. This context is permeated with challenges in the educational field that accompany these students throughout their careers, such as: gaps in teacher training, communicational, pedagogical, architectural barriers, among others. This study seeks to analyze the challenges faced by visually impaired high school students in accessing Higher Education. Specifically, the following objectives were listed: to map visually impaired high school students who are enrolled in the 1st Directorate in the RN education network; list the institutional support and services available to students with visual impairments to continue and complete their studies in high school; identify elements that pose challenges for students with visual impairment in high school in accessing Higher Education; and develop a training path aimed at the school community with a view to contributing to the process of remaining in high school and accessing higher education for students with visual impairments based on the challenges highlighted by the empirical field. As theoretical-methodological aspects, studies and policies in the educational field in the area of Special Education and inclusion of people with disabilities in high school stand out. The research falls within the scope of the qualitative approach, adopting an exploratory research profile. As procedures for data collection, field research and semi-structured interviews were chosen to conduct this investigation, in addition to the use of bibliographic and documentary research. The ongoing analysis is being carried out using Content Analysis (Bardin, 2016) and categories were highlighted based on student voices and research findings: the mapping of EM in RN and the presence of students with visual impairments; Elements that pose as challenges for students with visual impairment in high school in RN; Institutional services that enable Inclusive School Education for students with visual impairments; Challenges for completion and new stages for training. From the development of this research, the aim is that by identifying the challenges reported by the students participating in the research, we can contribute to studies that are dedicated to the implementation of effective and collaborative practices for the inclusion of students with visual impairments in high school, as well as contributing to the improvement of teaching practices through the training track designed as a technical-educational product of this professional master's degree.
