The Intellectual Disabled (ID) present alterations in cognitive development, adaptive and socio-affective behavior. The present research aims to approach the use of photographs as a pedagogical strategy that arouses interest, favors memorization and facilitates the understanding of Sciences for ID. This qualitative study analyzes photographic images recorded by students of Youth and Adult Education, from a school specialized in the Special Education modality. It was evaluated how photography can be used in the classroom and which cognitive and socio-cultural aspects can be observed. The results demonstrated the photographic image as a viable option that can be used in different disciplines and that stimulates interaction, creativity, autonomy and participation. It was found that the student as a photographer observes forgotten or unseen aspects, when the reader demonstrates sensations and an enlarged view of reality and, finally, as a historical subject he links his cultural background, identity and values to the new knowledge acquired.

Keywords : intellectual disability; teaching; photography.
