Among the tests showed up, which is still the modality of special education that has the highest enrollment of students both in the year 2007 (374 students, 72.6%) as in 2010 (415 students; 64.8 %). It is considered that for reviewing the growing number of students without disabilities who are referred to special services is currently an urgent review of their own categorizations released, as well as its inaccuracies, the process of "self-declaration" shows the fragility of diagnoses, and hides the ineffectiveness of the teaching-learning schools, causing the gap between the many political intentions and the realities experienced in the schools with regard to the social inclusion of pupils with special educational needs.
