Based on the results, it was possible to observe that the teaching of students with disabilities in the school under study is characterized as regular education that complies with all the standards established by the Ministry of Education and Human Development, using the same program used in regular schools, including the teachers who teach there are teachers trained to teach in regular schools because they do not have any special pedagogical training to serve these students.
