From the analysis of the subject's answers we can conclude that it is imminent the need for discussion and reflection about the training of professionals involved in the promotion of the inclusion process. From the findings concerning the form of organization of a project, where everything that is done is thought social equality, we realized that the inclusion is closer to happen. Therefore, the organization and preparation of the individuals involved in the inclusive process is critical.
