This article aims to bring some elements to the discussion about how consensus is being produced regarding educational proposals for Special Education during the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, I analyze national documents and those of business organizations that provide guidance for Brazilian education at that specific moment and carry out the balance of academic productions on “Special Education / COVID-19”, in view of the high number of publications on this subject in the last year. It can be seen that the public education project based on capital is underway in Brazil, which is being intensified during the pandemic. In the case of Special Education, the proposal of the government, business groups and most of the researchers is cohesive, whether in remote education or in face-to-face classes, the focus is on the necessary adaptation and training of the teacher, in the exaltation of the use of technologies and in curricular flexibility for students in this teaching modality. The family-school relationship is also a factor of common agreement, indicated as something insufficient before the pandemic and that today is gaining strength, being seen as the positive result of the health tragedy that the world is experiencing. The consensus produced results, in short, in the implementation of the privatization of the public school, in its various dimensions, wide open in the pandemic and also punctuated in the indications for Special Education in the regular school.
