The survey was conducted in six schools in Aracaju, from the application of 16 questionnaires to teachers of Elementary School I and II. The data were interpreted using the Bardin Content Analysis method (2016). The results revealed that the intellectual is the most expressive of the deficiencies in the municipality, however, the teachers consulted do not consider themselves qualified to attend DI students in regular classes, given that this unpreparedness is due, according to them, both from deficiencies in initial training. as for continuing education, which requires changes in the current conjuncture of education and the training curriculum of science teachers.
