From the perspective of Historical-Cultural Psychology, work, a requirement for man to survive, enables him to develop himself, appropriating historical and collectively elaborated human culture, to meet demands that his tasks impose on him. In a collective process, through their insertion in productive relationships, when learning what is necessary to perform their activities, man becomes humanized, and creates what he needs and can, to meet his needs, which allows him to affirm himself as a product and producer of culture, science and technology. And this is the basic function of the school, to prepare the student, as he becomes humanized, to assume a place, a socially recognized position. In this process, Collaborative/Shouldered Work between Special Education teachers, regular education teachers and the school pedagogical team, involving trust and credibility among peers, is essential for the psycho-intellectual development of students with disabilities/special educational needs. The essence of Collaborative Work between teachers is in a supportive relationship, in which everyone assumes responsibility in the learning process of school contents, which requires space and time for its achievement, in addition to a theoretical foundation that when articulated to a pedagogical practice, gives consistency to this process. If performed in this way, Collaborative Work is characterized as essential to inclusion. It is concluded that, to make it effective, it is imperative to define the objectives clearly and consciously for schooling, as there is a lot of diversity between the specificities of disabilities and special educational needs. However, this articulated form of action encounters different obstacles that constitute its limits and challenges, requiring political will to minimize them, allowing their proper organization. These challenges are discussed, and an example is presented in which, through collaborative work, conditions could be established so that a student who, through the entrance examination won a place in the Medicine course but acquired quadriplegia during the course, could complete her graduation, becoming a doctor.
