[Violence against children and adolescents with disabilities: narratives with guardianship councilors]. / Violência contra crianças e adolescentes com deficiência: narrativas com conselheiros tutelares.

The article is based on Thompson's indepth hermeneutics with emphasis on meanings produced from narrative analysis of 15 guardianship councilors, seeking to interpret the significance of the councilor's function and ensuring the rights of children and adolescents with disabilities. The conclusion drawn is that certain generic discourses on this theme are presented as an inflexible core which reinforces the invisibility of the population and renders it more vulnerable. At the other extreme, the generic category of being "special" highlights the difficulties of the guardianship councilor in seeking strategies in the institutional network (health, leisure, education) for ensuring the rights and needs of this segment and their families, when failing to differentiate between the various categories of disability. Finally, the acquisition of knowledge by counselors related to this clientele depends greatly on the proximity of these counselors to health institutions that contribute in formulating strategies for guaranteeing rights that form networks. The situations of vulnerability to which counselors are exposed in the relationship between their mandate to respond to the violations suffered by the juvenile segment, and impotence to resolve them are stressed.

Violência contra crianças e adolescentes com deficiência: narrativas com conselheiros tutelares / Violence against children and adolescents with disabilities: narratives with guardianship councilors

Artigo focado na hermenêutica de profundidade de Thompson com recorte nos sentidos produzidos a partir da análise narrativa com 15 conselheiros tutelares visando interpretar os sentidos da função de conselheiro na garantia dos direitos de crianças e adolescentes com deficiência. Conclui-se que determinados discursos genéricos sobre este tema funcionam como um núcleo duro que reforça a invisibilidade desse público e o torna mais vulnerável. No outro extremo a categoria genérica "especial" fala das dificuldades do conselheiro tutelar em buscar na rede institucional (saúde, lazer, educação) estratégias dessas garantias e das necessidades deste segmento e de suas famílias, ao deixar de diferenciar as diversas categorias de deficiências. Por fim, as aquisições de conhecimento, por alguns conselheiros, relacionadas a essa clientela se dá muito em função da proximidade com instituições de saúde que contribuem na construção de estratégias de garantia de direitos que formam redes. Destacamos as situações de vulnerabilidade a que estão expostos os conselheiros na relação entre o mandato de responder às violações sofridas pelo segmento infanto-juvenil, e a impotência resolutiva.
