With attention to the context of academic exchanges, the purposes of this article are: to raise awareness of the 1st International Congress for the Education of Exceptional Children, held in 1939, in Geneva; to analyze the main themes and medical, hygienists, psychologic, pedagogical perspectives of the presented PhD dissertations; to focus the participation of the Brazilian representative Thiago Würth, on the event; and identify scientific arguments present. For the development of this work, it was sought as sources the official proceedings of the Congress and two reports prepared by the Brazilian representative. In the analysis of this material, it was possible to identify arguments around the ideas of abnormality, delinquency, inadequacy, which are related to pedagogical propositions prescribed in that period.
