SUMMARY:

As a result of the advances in the conquest of rights for people with disabilities during the first years of the 21st century, a greater participation of people with different types of disabilities has been observed in various sectors of society, however this advance has not been observed with the same proportion in the subgroup of visual impairment. One path used by such individuals to reach new levels of life is rehabilitation. Assuming that the spaces and practices of rehabilitation enable the reinvention of life in the face of loss of vision, in this study we aim to analyze the reinventions of life of the person with visual impairment along the rehabilitational path. In this trajectory, we weave a dialogue with the deepening of interdependence based on the theoretical and conceptual contributions developed by Elias (1994), Kittay (2011) and Butler (2015). Methodologically, we undertake an exploratory and documentary research with a qualitative approach, supported by dialectics and reflectivity, aiming at potentializing different knowledges. The subjects of this research were people aged between eighteen and seventy, blind or with low vision, who have undergone or are undergoing visual rehabilitation services, as well as a key informant linked to the management of the health care network for people with disabilities in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (SESAP) and also a member of the board of the Institute of Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind of Rio Grande do Norte (IERC). To capture the empirical data we conducted three sessions of heterogeneous focus groups, which took place between the months of September and October 2019 and two semi-structured interviews with managers in the same period. Later, the data were analyzed with subsidy in the thematic content analysis (MINAYO, 2008). The research was approved by the CAAE 13370519.6.0000.5292 opinion and obeyed the pre-established ethical precepts. As for the results, the emerging categories emerged primarily from the inductive and ascending analysis of the data and were made up of three main axes: 1) the spaces and practices of rehabilitation to create new life scenes; 2) the challenges to rehabilitation; and 3) the tessitura of rehabilitation and reinvention of the subjects. In addition, we propose an inclusive rehabilitation model with a view to better understand the instances for joint state-subject-society action, whose main characteristics are: biopsychosocial, interdependence, accessibility and anti-capacitism. The findings of the research lead us to consider as necessary the rejection of the negative approach to visual impairment, based on the ideas of lack, deficit and defect, transmuting it to a notion of inventive power that propels emancipation, in order to bring out a common and heterogeneous world open to dialogue with diversity and permeated by the model of social inclusion.
