Análise de acessibilidade da pessoa com deficiência em uma instituição de ensino público na cidade de Colorado-PR

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the accessibility conditions at Colégio Estadual Monteiro Lobato, located in the city of Colorado – PR, based on the criteria established by the Brazilian standard NBR 9050:2020. The research was conducted through a case study with both qualitative and quantitative approaches, using bibliographic research, a technical checklist, photographic records, and on-site visits. The analysis covered various areas of the institution, such as classrooms, corridors, library, cafeteria, restrooms, ramps, stairs, and external access points. The results showed that although some elements comply with the standard—such as door dimensions, table height, and maneuvering space in classrooms—several aspects presented significant nonconformities, especially regarding ramps with inadequate slopes, absence of handrails, insufficient corridor width, accessible restroom limitations, and deficiencies in tactile and visual signage. The study highlights the urgent need for adjustments to ensure full accessibility, promoting inclusion and the right to education with dignity for all students, especially those with disabilities or reduced mobility.
