The study tries to understand the experiences about the preparation and labor inclusion of people with intellectual disability developed by specialized institutions. The study was made in 2007 by means of interviews with representatives of the institutions. It brought to light the preoccupation of the institutions regarding the quality and implementation of projects directed towards the inclusion of their actions in the formal and informal job market. The difficulties of inclusion come from the lack of knowledge and disinformation about intellectual disability, which creates prejudiced attitudes, and the demands of enterprises concerning the level of schooling required for work. Moreover, the majority of enterprises consider the demands of legislation and jobs are not always compatible with this population. However, some advances were observed in respect to professionalism and labor inclusion of people with intellectual disability.Downloads
