This is a qualitative study that analyzes the history of an adult (Rosita) with intellectual disabilities, female, institutionalized in a nursing home in the Portuguese region of Coimbra. The problem is based on the analysis of the process of institutional inclusion of this poor citizen with microcephaly associated, in order to sensitize the technicians for decisionmaking within and through educational geriatric implementation of an intervention plan, which aims to develop you basic skills. Build the life of Rosita, performing technical personnel of semistructured interviews home, his brother and a friend, with user content analysis (categories), in addition to comments (natural and documentary participants), field notes and triangulation of data and methodologies. We have proposed a plan of intervention and inclusion strategies for Rosita, during six months in the year 2012 in order to insert itself actively in the institution in order to be an autonomous, participative and citizen included.
