LOPES, Esther  e  MARQUEZINE, Maria Cristina. Sala de recursos no processo de inclusão do aluno com deficiência intelectual na percepção dos professores. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.03, pp.487-506. ISSN 1413-6538.

This paper is part of a study carried out at an elementary school - beginning years. The study's aim was to analyze teachers - perceptions of the importance of a multifunctional resource classroom type I - Specialized Educational Service - SES in the inclusion process of students with intellectual disabilities in regular education. Four education professionals, who have different functions in the school, participated in the study. Qualitative research guidelines were followed, with emphasis on action-research practices, using a semi-structured interview guide for data collection. The theoretical framework covers a brief history of special education, indicating that intellectual disability is one of the biggest challenges in this process. The paper presents the resource classroom as a major support in the inclusive process, and highlights the importance of specialized teachers in this service. The results emphasize the importance of the resource classroom in the inclusive process. However, the study defends that the work carried out in that venue should not be confused with school tutoring or repetition of regular class curriculum content. It should provide challenging conditions in which students with disabilities encounter what they need in order to develop their learning process, so as to overcome their own limits, on the way to real inclusion.
