Postdoctoral Research Project:
Multiple Disabilities in Brazil: Enrollment Indicators and Specialized Services.
Period: (12/06/2021 to 04/30/2022)

The main objective of the research was to analyze the enrollment indicators and specialized services for students with multiple disabilities in Brazil, starting from the implementation of the National Center for Special Education (CENESP) in 1973. The specific objectives were: to discuss the changes in the term “multiple disabilities” in educational documents developed by the federal government from 1973 to 2020; and to analyze the trend in enrollments of students with “multiple disabilities” in Special Education services across Brazil’s different federative units during the same period. The methodological procedures included documentary analysis and analysis of educational statistical surveys. The public statistics analyzed were obtained through technical summaries, statistical synopses, and microdata from the Basic Education School Census, provided by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP). IBM SPSS Statistics software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was used for reading and statistical treatment of the microdata. To complement the analysis, data from other statistical sources from INEP, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and relevant information from the federative units were used.
