This study aims to know how special education teachers and regular education teachers cooperate.

The methodology was based on an exploratory interview and a questionnaire that was applied to a sample of 20 special education teacher and to another of 20 teachers of regular education. The response rate was 50% and content analysis was used to analyse the results.
