In this paper, we discuss the effects of meaning that operate in the diagnosis and evaluationprocesses that subjectivate the teacher performance of Special Education, considering the naturalization of these practices. To discuss, we take as materiality of analysis fragments ofinternship reports produced by the academics of Special Education Course at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. In the analysis, we use the concepts and methodological anchored in Foucault studies. We consider that there are not distinct and dialectical poles of a clinicaland diagnostic evaluation or an assessment in Special Education, because there is a tensionof forces that coexist and characterize the performance of the teacher in this field: the abnormality, the persons with disability, the identification and mediation processes of teaching and learning that enhance the arrival of the persons with disability closer to normality.
