The study is linked to the Professional Master's Degree in Inclusive Education and is part of the research line Special Education from the Perspective of Inclusive Education. Discussions about inclusive principles have increased in recent decades, as well as the struggle for access to education for people with disabilities. Faced with these discussions present in Brazilian society and mainly in the field of education, we sought to answer the following question: How was the implementation of the political principles of special education in the perspective of inclusive education in the municipality of Ponta Grossa, PR? The option for the research through the historical bias, starts from the understanding that the movements of history and the multiple events in the fields of economy, politics and culture of the country, transform the reality of the school through the subjects, the place and the educational public policies driven by social events. Thus, this research, with a historical approach to inclusive education, has the general objective: to investigate the implementation of the principles of special education from the perspective of inclusive education in the municipality of Ponta Grossa, PR.

The study is based on the understanding that special education is a teaching modality that permeates all levels, stages and modalities, performs specialized educational services, provides resources and services and provides guidance on their use in the teaching and learning process in classes common in regular education.
