In this work, the purpose was thinking the learning evaluation and the use of Assistive Technology resources in students with disabilities. Discusses the inclusion as a challenge, what promote a reorientation in educational issues and the technical and financial support. To do so, intervene with municipal and state network schools in northeastern Brazil, guided by interlocution with the historical-cultural principles and collaborative-critical action research. Five (05) schools were accompanied weekly, where are enrolled students with severe disabilities. From the work with these students was possible to reflect about the procedures used in school, thinking how Assistive Technology resources reach there and what is your importance to ensure an adequate evaluation process. The following results are evident: only official policies are not able to delineate the work in schools, to modify the evaluation process, it is necessary to put them in motion, in discursive practices, in the actions, helping the school to become effectively as inclusion space. In schools there was any kind of adaptation to the evaluation process; students with disabilities did not participate of the evaluation; schools did not know TA resources; students with severe disabilities are not attended in their specificities in schools; the teachers in these schools understand the evaluation as a static and linear process; collaborative work can be an alternative to modify the actions at school. Lastly, the technology can be of service to the school, promoting the learning of these students. Nowadays, the educator must be prepared for the challenge of working in diversity producing new potential.Downloads
