GARGHETTI, Francine Cristine; NUERNBERG, Adriano Henrique  and  MEDEIROS, José Gonçalves. An observational study on the interactions of children/teens with Intellectual disability no regular education. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2015, vol.40, n.2, pp.451-464.

This study characterized the children/adolescents interactions with intellectual disabilities that are included in the regular education by a naturalistic observation of children/adolescents with and without intellectual disabilities in school environment. The quantitative analysis was conducted by descriptive statistics procedures and qualitative analysis focused on the discussion on quantified data. The behavior was classified into three categories (academic interactions; non-academic interactions, no interactions). The persons with disabilities had a higher percentage in three of the five academic behaviors. In non -academic interactions, considering the nine subcategories, they had higher frequency in three. In non-recorded interactions, the rates between groups are identical. There was little difference in the types of interactions presented by the children/adolescents with and without intellectual disabilities and low incidence of resistance to colleagues in different condition or disability.
