Abstract

COVID-19 has very quickly modified our usual way of learning and also our socialization, mainly due to the permuting of the basic means of communication. The roles of the protagonists and participants in the reciprocal interaction have changed functions and actions, because an organizational rigor has been reflected, efficiently demanded and desired in the didactics and school organization of always, but now prioritizing and displacing spontaneity and naturalness, which the usual conversation in educational settings and contexts had for the simple fact of being and participating in it. Now learning is to focus on looking for the reason or interest to do so, substituting the development of social skills as a helpful resource, to be communication a simple means of exchanging interests, moving away from the vicarious and observational, so enriching that it has been for teaching learning of people. In the group of people with different capacities, both they and their families have suffered these changes described and especially social distancing with institutions and with people outside their main family nucleus. There has been an important limitation in the development of therapeutic interventions, such as processes and programs that help social integration, mainly focused on promoting interpersonal relationships. This study focused on a social economy project of the Almida entity describes and details some of the consequences, temporary or definitive, in the personal circumstances of affected people with different disabilities, observing important elements and factors that have influenced the preparation and professional qualification, as well as in employment.
