Accesibilidad matemática en el aula inclusiva: acompañamiento a estudiantes con discapacidad visual e intelectual

Abstract

This internship report fulfills the graduation project requirements according to Agreement 012 of 2022 of the Francisco José de Caldas District University. The internship took place at the José Félix Restrepo IED school, a public institution located in the San Cristóbal district of Bogotá, D.C. The school has four campuses (A, B, C, and D) and approximately 4,500 students distributed across morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. The institution is known for being an inclusive community, as it addresses the needs of children, youth, and adults, especially those vulnerable to exclusion (MEN, 2017; UNESCO, 2020). The school began including students with visual impairments in 1983, and since then has developed curricular flexibility. This internship addressed the need to strengthen accessibility and participation for students with visual and intellectual disabilities in mathematics at the José Félix Restrepo IED school. This institution, characterized by its commitment to educational inclusion, showed that some students faced barriers to accessing mathematical content and activities on equal terms with their peers, due to a lack of adapted materials and adequate pedagogical support (Booth & Ainscow, 2002; MEN, 2017). For this reason, the internship aimed to directly support mathematics classes by designing and implementing accessible and multisensory teaching resources that would promote student understanding, autonomy, and participation
