Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.46, pp.239-255. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2015/01047043v25n462016239.

The article aims to describe and analyze the experiences of professors of the Federal University of Alagoas in relation to people with disabilities, but also regarding the aspects of their training and teaching strategies already known and used to attend this public. We used a qualitative approach and a semi-structured interview, with reflective character, which was held with the participation of eight professors. The content analysis was applied considering, specifically, the theme. The results showed that few professors have had experience with people with disabilities and that they had no specific training on inclusive education. In addition, other ones reported the adoption of scarce and shy, but necessary, teaching strategies to meet the needs of the students with disabilities. Thus, it should be encouraged greater investment in training the professor of the universities, since year after year the enrolment of students with disabilities in higher education is increasing.
