Abstract

The aim of this study was to verify whether the principles of neuroscience have been applied in the process of teaching and learning in students with intellectual disabilities. We decided on a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research and, as a technical procedure, we selected the case study. Considering the results of the study, we conclude that, although in the institution investigated for the study the majority of teachers participating in the survey had no formal knowledge about neuroscience, they followed all Neuroscience criteria presented in this study, especially because, being aware of the limitations and potentials of their students, they used different strategies to motivate and encourage them.
