PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGIES FOR CARRYING OUT ACTIVITIES WITH STUDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES

Abstract

Since the beginnings of human existence on Earth, beings have presented their individualities and unique characteristics that make them different. Each difference tends to separate people into groups, from those with or without disabilities. And, among these deficiencies, we can mention intellectual disabilities, which with the advancement of medicine it becomes increasingly easier to identify them, what are their types and how to work them in different areas, including school. Thus, this study aims to carry out a bibliographic survey on the types of intellectual disabilities. The methodology used for the elaboration of this article is carried out from bibliographic research, referring to the object of study. With this study it was possible to deepen a little more knowledge on the subject, to understand what intellectual disability means, that is, its concept. It was possible to learn its classification, possible causes and clinical diagnosis and how the school can act to promote the learning of the cognitively impaired. It is concluded, therefore, that despite the studies on intellectual disabilities, a form of diagnosis is still needed that does not frame people in numbers and that considers the particularities of each person. Furthermore, it is important that education professionals and the school are better prepared to deal with these students and prepare them for social life.
