As an integrating element of this process, we highlight the Specialized Educational Attendance (AEE for its acronym in Portuguese), as one of the services within Special Education that has taken place at schools and may be able to call attention to intellectually disabled students and how they learn. Aiming at analyzing the function of AEE in the school process of intellectually disabled students, this study was carried out through a qualitative approach, based on a research-action, which englobed teachers from the Specialized Educational Attendance, teachers from regular schools and the pedagogical staff from a public school in Natal/RN, Brazil. At first, we have conducted a semistructured interview and a documental research, with visits that aimed at knowing the AEE reality at the school and, later, a continuing education program triggered from the needs encountered on the students school process. From the discussions raised on educational meetings, we have noticed that teachers recognize the need to redefine their concepts and practices, as well as the importance of the AEE teacher, acting in a dynamic and connected way along with the whole school organization.Acesso AbertoEducação inclusivaAtendimento educacional especializadoDeficiência intelectualdoctoralThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
