This study has as theoretical reference the socio-historical approach, which conceives the development of the human being in its biological aspects, intrinsic to the individual, together with thes urround ing aspects of the social environment, in which the individual is inserted, relating and interacting. Using a methodology of action research and focus group as a form of data collection, we have some units of meanings in the speeches of thouse subjects, fifteen young and adult students with ID and four teachers of Special Education, from a vocational training center for people with disabilities in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
