Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the scientific production on the theme of youth and adults with intellectual disabilities, found in dissertations and theses in the period 1988 to 2008. For this, we carried out the survey on the bank of the CAPES, by searching with keywords specific to contemplate the education of youth and adults, special education, and intellectual disability and mental. We selected ten productions distributed in six Higher Education Institutions (HEI), the majority coming from public higher education institutions, for the Graduate Program in Education, and defended in the 2000s. Most studies focused on literacy and signaled the need for improvement of teaching practices, as well as the importance of the interaction of young people and adults with intellectual disabilities with their teachers. It was also found that there are few studies relevant to this population in question, pointing to a field of knowledge to be properly understood.
