a garantia do acesso do idoso e da pessoa com deficiência aos recursos de Tecnologia Assistiva (TA), está diretamente relacionado à garantia de oportunidades de inclusão e vida plena. Após a finalização do mapeamento dos núcleos de TA da Rede Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento em Tecnologia Assistiva (RNPDTA), este artigo tem o objetivo de promover uma reflexão quanto às dificuldades enfrentadas pelas pessoas no acesso a produtos de TA no Brasil e as iniciativas públicas tomadas para melhorar este cenário. Assim, analisando os resultados deste mapeamento, pode-se afirmar que o Brasil vem criando mecanismos para assegurar este acesso. De uma forma geral, nota-se uma mudança significativa na área, entretanto, existe ainda um caminho a ser percorrido tanto pelas políticaspúblicas, quanto pelos próprios atores envolvidos com este processo para a efetiva mudança do cenário nacional.
The current historical moment allows the subject to be seen in different ways and with different values, according to numerous social and political issues. Human diversity is finally being recognized, after much effort by the marginalized population, which for years has lived through social exclusion and political helplessness. This context leads the Occupational Therapy profession to reassess itself, with regard to its multiple possibilities of social contribution and its areas of activity. The present work aimed to to analyze, through a survey of bibliographic data, the types and quality of the contributions of occupational therapists in the educational context, during the last 10 years of public policy on special education from an inclusive perspective. In a quality-quantitative approach, we provided the information for the appropriate analyzes provided by means of a bibliographic survey. This one refers to the publications of Occupational Therapy activities and its performance in educational contexts, giving visibility to its different possibilities of action in this area and identifying possible latent demands. The results found can be used as subsidies for new research and proposals for action and training in Occupational Therapy.
