The objective of this article was to analyze the constitution of special education services and assistance in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), through the voices of two pioneer managers in conducting the implementation of special education policies. Data collection was carried out through an interview with a semi-structured script, after the participants had joined the research, through the Free and Informed Consent Term (ICF) and their authorization to disclose their identities for publication purposes. The treatment, analysis and systematization of the results had historical materialism as theoretical support. The results showed that special education in the state of MS, in confluence with the history of special education in Brazil, was constituted by pioneering initiatives, with the direct participation of professionals from the areas of medicine, psychology and specialized institutions, those initiatives being both of an individual nature and of some teams.
