Inclusive Education establishes that individuals with disabilities should learn together with their peers in regular schools. Socialization in an inclusive environment is an important tool in the acquisition of social skills, which are understood with a descriptive construct of individual performances that allow the individual to deal adequately in different situations. This study aimed to characterize the social skills of students with intellectual disabilities enrolled in regular schools, as well as to characterize the social educational skills of parents and teachers. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study, which presents a part of the data of a larger research. Forty-four students, 42 parents/guardians and 34 female teachers participated. The instruments used were the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS-BR), parent-teacher version, the Interview Script of Parental Social Educational Skills (Roteiro de Entrevista de Habilidades Sociais Educativas Parentais - RE-HSE-P) and the Inventory of Educational Social Skills - Teachers (Inventário de Habilidades Sociais Educativas - Professores - IHS-Prof). The evaluations were carried out in schools. The data were evaluated using the JASP statistical program. Results showed that Responsibility and Civility were the skills of the students with higher scores according to teachers and parents/guardians, respectively; in the other skills, parents/guardians attributed higher scores than the teachers. Regarding the Educational Social Skills, parents/guardians pointed out difficulties, being classified as clinical; and the teachers were rated as above average in these skills. The data point to the importance of intervention programs for the promotion of social resources in the context of Inclusive Education.
